Should Accommodative Spasm in Kids Be Cause for Concern?
As one new study found, an alarming 21.2% of pseudomyopia eyes converted to myopia within six months.

A total of 2,328 non-myopic children aged four to 17 were recruited from schools in the province and underwent baseline examinations and six-month follow-up appointments. Pseudomyopia was defined as spherical equivalent (SE) of ≤ -0.50D before cycloplegia and >-0.50D after cycloplegia. Myopia was defined as cycloplegic SE of ≤ -0.50D. At the six-month follow-up, 21.1% pseudomyopic eyes developed myopia, while only 3.8% of non-myopic and non-pseudomyopic eyes developed myopia. Pseudomyopia was found to be common in this group, overall existing at a rate of 37.2% among the cohort.
