What causes pseudomyopia

Pseudomyopia, also known as accommodative myopia, is related to visual fatigue and is usually caused by prolonged viewing of close targets, resulting in the ciliary muscles always being in a state of contraction and eventually spasm. Myopia can be further subdivided into two different types: true myopia and pseudomyopia. Pseudomyopia is usually found in children and adolescents, and is caused by spasms of the ciliary muscles due to prolonged close-up writing and reading. The spastic ciliary muscle will increase the refractive power of the patient’s lens, and the light refracted by the lens will not be able to accurately focus on the retinal plane, resulting in a loss of vision. However, it is worth noting that pseudomyopia is reversible, if the patient develops good eye habits and relaxes the ciliary muscles, the patient can return to a state of positive vision. It is recommended that patients with pseudomyopia seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
