To study the seasonal influence on eye, a survey was made in Trichy district during summer. For this purpose conjunctival samples from hundred infected persons were taken by using a special KIMURA'S Platinum spatula under aseptic conditions. The samples were studied by direct microscopy and isolation of the pathogen by culturing in appropriate medium. Based on the preliminary finding, confirmation was done by biochemical reaction. From the above studies, about seven bacterial species were confirmed. The most predominant one was Chlamydia trachomatis, which could have been transmitted by vector-flies which are more predominant in summer, unhygienic utility of swimming pools and other fomites
