How to distinguish true and false juvenile myopia.

Abstract: now what people call “false myopia” is different from its original meaning, which means: “false myopia” — the normal myopia can be restored after treatment. Unfortunately, There are no “treatable” and “untreatable” myopia (i.e. “false myopia” and “true myopia”). In the daily clinic, many juvenile myopia patients and their parents will ask the same question: am I (my child) pseudomyopia? Can I be treated? I was the first to put forward “pseudomyopia” In fact, this concept is not used for juvenile myopia, but for hyperopia. Because the farsighted eye can’t see far clearly and the near eye is more blurred, it needs to use adjustment to see far and near, resulting in excessive tension and even spasm. At this time, it shows some symptoms of myopia, such as blurred far eye, slightly clear near eye and squinting at things; There is myopia in pupillary optometry. Once the adjustment is relaxed (such as using ciliary muscle paralysis), the examination is hyperopia. Therefore, the performance of myopia in normal state is considered as “false” by ophthalmologists. “False myopia” is excessive tension adjustment (spasm) the popular term for this state is a symptom, not an independent disease, just as the symptoms of fever and cough are not independent diseases. Generally speaking, juvenile myopia has regulating spasm (i.e. “pseudomyopia”) )The situation is rare. According to the diagnosis of myopia, we should adjust and relax this prerequisite, We can understand that there is only myopia (even if there is only 0.5d myopia degree) or not the diagnosis of myopia, but there is no division of “false and true” myopia. The statement of “false, mixed (intermediate) and true” myopia is unscientific; there is no such change process in the generation and aggravation of juvenile myopia. What people say now “False myopia” has been different from its original meaning, which means: “false myopia” – myopia that can return to normal after treatment. Unfortunately, There are no “treatable” and “untreatable” myopia (i.e. “false myopia” and “true myopia”). The essence of “false myopia” is not myopia and does not need myopia treatment at all; the essence of the so-called “false myopia” is “true myopia” , the lowest standard for effective treatment of myopia is to reduce the diopter, even if it is only 0. 5D, because it shows that the degree of myopia is decreasing, the diopter of myopia is decreasing, and the far vision will naturally improve, Unfortunately, no effective method has been found (except refractive surgery). Considering the fact that the diopter of juvenile myopia is increasing year by year, if the increase of myopia diopter can be delayed or controlled, it should also be one of the signs of effective treatment. If ophthalmologists and patients work together, it is more likely and more realistic to achieve this goal.

In the usual clinic, Many teenagers with myopia and their parents will ask the same question: am I (my child) pseudomyopia? Can I treat it?

generally speaking, there is a regulatory spasm in adolescent myopia (i.e. “pseudomyopia”) )The situation is rare. According to the diagnosis of myopia, we should adjust and relax this prerequisite, We can understand that only myopia (even if it is only 0.5d) or not the diagnosis of myopia, but there is no division of “false and true” myopia.
