Overview
”Some scholars refer to pseudomyopia as “regulatory myopia”, but in fact, pseudomyopia is not myopia, and after ciliary paralytic drops, the distance vision can be restored to normal.
The clinical manifestations of the two conditions are similar.
Similarities and differences between the two
Myopia
Pseudomyopia
Similarities
Reduced farsightedness, normal near vision, concave lens can improve vision
Difference
Similarity
Point
Nature
Refractive error
Adjustment spasm
Triggers
No obvious cause
Usually occurs after working at close range for a long time
Refractive state (small pupil optometry)
Low or high degree, stationary or slowly developing
Generally low and unstable in degree
After ciliary muscle paralysis
Still myopic, unchanged or mildly reduced myopia
Orthopia or mild hyperopia
Visual acuity unchanged or slightly elevated
Visual acuity returns to normal
Treatment
Refractive correction required
Eye rest, ciliary muscle paralytics if necessary
