    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Optometry

    Background:

    • Current treatments for accommodation spasm are often ineffective or impractical for immediate outpatient use.
    • Existing methods may require extensive training or involve atropine, which has significant side effects and limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel, simple, and combined treatment for accommodation spasm.
    • To determine if this method can prevent the development of true myopia in young children.

    Main Methods:

    • A combined treatment approach was implemented for children experiencing accommodation spasm.
    • A control group received standard care or alternative treatments.

    Main Results:

    • The combined treatment prevented true myopia in 94.3% of children in the main group.
    • In contrast, 38.3% of children in the control group developed myopia.

    Conclusions:

    • The available, simple, and effective combined method is highly successful in preventing true myopia.
    • This treatment is suitable for immediate outpatient initiation, overcoming limitations of current approaches.
