What to do if a 3.5 year old child has pseudomyopia

A three and a half year old child with pseudomyopia needs to be restored to orthopia by developing good eye habits and by ordering ciliary muscle paralyzing drops, such as compound tropicamide eye drops. Pseudomyopia in a three and a half year old child is usually caused by prolonged close-distance eye use, such as reading, playing the computer, playing the cell phone and so on, resulting in ciliary muscle spasm. Family members of the child need to pay attention to encourage the child to develop good eye habits, avoid prolonged close eye use, so as to relieve ciliary muscle spasm. Children can also use ciliary muscle paralyzer eye drops to relax the ciliary muscle, such as cotrimoxazole eye drops, as prescribed by the doctor. Children with myopia are advised to seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and to follow the doctor’s instructions.
