Summary
Unilateral cyclitis can cause sudden, one-sided myopia (nearsightedness), a rare condition. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of underlying uveitis are crucial for vision recovery.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Research
Background:
- Pseudomyopia is typically bilateral accommodative spasm.
- Unilateral pseudomyopia is a rare clinical presentation.
Observation:
- A young male presented with acute unilateral myopia and initially no anterior chamber cells.
- Despite cycloplegic eye drops, his myopia persisted.
- Subsequent examination revealed anterior chamber inflammation and angle narrowing on OCT.
Findings:
- The patient was diagnosed with acute anterior uveitis causing unilateral myopia.
- Treatment for uveitis resolved the myopia and improved visual acuity.
- This case highlights myopia as a rare manifestation of unilateral cyclitis.
Implications:
- Early detection of uveitis is critical in cases of unexplained unilateral myopia.
- This presentation expands the understanding of pseudomyopia mechanisms.
- Highlights the importance of thorough ophthalmological examination for refractive errors.

This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...
