Trachomatous Trichiasis ( T T ) is a consequence of progression of conjunctival scarring caused by recurrent infection of Chlamydia Trachomatis. Most attention has focused on increasing the quantity of Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) surgery performed. A surgical audit by those performing Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) surgery is not a routine part of any national trachoma control program, and no effective mechanism exists for identifying surgeons experiencing poor outcomes Methods: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) methodology used to develop an audit tool for assessing the outcome of the TT surgery in terms of postoperative Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT).
