A related discussion,
Accommodation Spasm was started.
As I said spasm of accommodation is very rare. I would see a consultation from a neuroophthalmologist.

Oh..i didn't know that..so (in my case) if my most distant point of clear view is beyond 1.5 meters means that i have this spasm?
Well..as far as i can remember it was..i remember watching football games on tv from 2 meters away and seeing clearly..so is there any kind of treatment for this? To relax this muscle and let it go back to it's natural state?(in case if i have it)
thanks for replying
If your eye muscle is temporarily paralysed with homatropine and cannot focus then the clear vision in a myope will correspond to the focal point cause by myhopia. If you are -1.50 the clear point will be at 1.5 meters away any thing closer or father away will be blurry. If the RX is -4.00 the focal point will be 1/4 of a meter away.

I'm not wearing any minus lenses and i never did..now i have -1.5 ,before this 4-month period my long distance vision was just better and not bothering me as much as it does now..
As far as i know(i might be wrong off course) a cycloplegic refraction is when a doctor uses cycloplegic eye drops to paralyze the ciliary muscle so it would be completely relaxed,and then tests your long-distance vision..right?
Well..as stated above,i kind of did this myself with the use of homatropine;though when the cycloplegia occured my long-distance view got blurry(my short distance view too off course,yet i was still perfectly able to see clearly from 1.5 feet away)..can you please explain me how this is possible since i am not hypermetropic?
I am in my early 20's and my short distance vision is as good as perfect and no i am not taking any medications..
thanks anyway!
Spasm of the ciliary body is VERY VERY Rare. Your problem might be due to:
1. Over minus'ed lens. To determine this you need a post cycloplegic refraction.
2. Pre presbyopic symptoms if you are in your late 30's or early 40/s. For this you will need bifocals.
3. The effects of medications: the list is extenisve anti-cholinergics medication and many psychotropic medications like anxiety or depression medicine.
