Vision gets worse morning to evening

I'm 29, and I spend a lot of time behind a computer. Few months ago I noticed that my vision was getting worse by the evening: distant objects look blurred. Every day my vision is pretty good in the morning, but I get myopic to the end of the day.
When a day is spent without a computer, the effect is a bit weaker, but still present.

An ophthalmologist has prescribed me Mydriacyl drops before sleep for 3 weeks, but it didn't help.

What can cause my problem ? Is this called spasm of accommodation ? Are there any ways to cure it ?

Not enough information to make that diagnosis. I suggest you return to the ophthalmologist and ask about prismatic, reading/computer glasses.

Also each 10 minutes look up from the computer, focus on the farthest object you can see I(out the window is great). Blind forcefully 5-6 times. After the distance vision is clear return to the screen. It relaxes and stretches the focus muscle.

I have been experiencing this aswell. I googled anxiety and hypoglycemia as I was suspect that my long lasting stress/anxiety level was the culprit to my hypoglycemic symptoms, all that would come up is the opposite that hypoglycemia causes anxiety although this is true I know that I was fine and very healthy With no real symptoms before the lasting bout of stress/anxiety. Leading up to now my stress level has peaked and so have my hypoglycemic symptoms to the point of body shakes. I know that their is a strong connection between cortisol output, stress, and fuel (sugars). In the past I could fast for days now I can't miss a meal without feeling confusion, shaky, sick, weak and my vision even gets screwy. Do your self s favor and trust your body if you believe your anxiety/stress is causing your symptoms do what you can to take action! Start with your diet no GMOs and all organic you would be surprised to find out your really are what you eat wether good or bad all of your health starts in your gut. My God be gracious to you and lead you to healing.

The best cure for stress is to realise that Jesus actually loves you and is not interested in you perishing. Watch any video by Pastors who speak the truth e.g. Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen and you will find out that this us at true. Be blessed

this does work. i use computer glasses, basically +.75 reading glasses, and it keeps me from getting more and more blurry as the day goes by. if ever i forget them, i notice how blurry things are driving home. i believe it is called transient myopia and it's due to the muscles that focus your eye spasming or tightening due to the constant close focus. hope it helps

What you mentioned used to work for me a few years ago- for a short period. Now I wake up and my eyes are fine. As the day proceeds I increase my glasses from + 0.75 gradually up to +3.25 lately. Eye drops do not help and I really do not know what to do. Of course I gate a terrible headache at the end of the day. I really hope to find a solution soon. This has gotten so bad it's become a major problem in my life.

If you are using + 3.25 end of day then you have significant hyperopia no matter what your age and you need glasses which, depending on your age and amount of hyperopia, might need to be progressive bifocals. See an ophthalmologist for an eye exam. Ask for a "pre and post cycloplegic refraction" that means they test your eyes for glasses before and after you have your eyes dilated and the focus muscle relaxed.

You could try a pair of +1.00 or +0.75 over the counter reading glasses.

Thank you for the advice.
But, exercises do not bring my distance vision back to normal. I tried to make often breaks with looking far, and also some exercises like "look at a close object - look at a distant one", but it don't seem to help.
Unfortunately, I live in Ukraine, a country with a stone-age health care level.
