Cyclospasm

Cyclospasm is a medical condition characterized by the involuntary contraction or spasm of the ciliary muscle of the eye. This condition can affect vision and is often associated with eye strain or accommodation issues.

Causes[edit]

Cyclospasm can be caused by various factors, including:

Symptoms[edit]

Individuals with cyclospasm may experience:

Blurred vision
Eye discomfort
Headaches
Difficulty focusing on distant objects

Diagnosis[edit]

Diagnosis of cyclospasm typically involves a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. This may include:

Treatment[edit]

Treatment options for cyclospasm may include:

Corrective lenses
Cycloplegic eye drops to relax the ciliary muscle
Vision therapy
Lifestyle modifications to reduce eye strain

Prevention[edit]

Preventive measures to reduce the risk of cyclospasm include:

Taking regular breaks during prolonged near work
Ensuring proper lighting while reading or working
Using appropriate corrective lenses

-==Causes==
+'''Cyclospasm''' is a medical condition characterized by the involuntary contraction or spasm of the [[ciliary muscle]] of the [[eye]]. This condition can affect [[vision]] and is often associated with [[eye strain]] or [[accommodation]] issues.
-Cyclospasm can be caused by a variety of factors, including [[eye strain]], [[inflammation]], [[trauma]], or certain [[medication|medications]]. It is also associated with conditions such as [[uveitis]], [[iridocyclitis]], and [[glaucoma]].
-==Symptoms==
+== Causes ==
-The primary symptom of cyclospasm is blurred vision, which can be intermittent or constant. Other symptoms may include [[eye pain]], [[headache]], and sensitivity to light ([[photophobia]]).
+Cyclospasm can be caused by various factors, including:
+* [[Prolonged near work]]
+* [[Uncorrected refractive errors]]
+* [[Stress]] and [[fatigue]]
+* [[Ocular inflammation]]
-==Diagnosis==
+== Symptoms ==
-Diagnosis of cyclospasm typically involves a comprehensive [[eye examination]], which may include tests to measure [[visual acuity]], [[refraction]], and [[intraocular pressure]]. In some cases, additional diagnostic tests such as [[ultrasound]] or [[magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] may be necessary.

+* [[Headaches]]
+* Difficulty focusing on distant objects
-==Treatment==
+== Diagnosis ==
-Treatment for cyclospasm depends on the underlying cause. In many cases, the condition can be managed with [[eye drop|eye drops]] or [[medication|medications]] to relax the ciliary muscle. In severe cases, [[surgery]] may be necessary.
+Diagnosis of cyclospasm typically involves a comprehensive [[eye examination]] by an [[optometrist]] or [[ophthalmologist]]. This may include:
+* [[Refraction test]]
+* [[Slit-lamp examination]]
+* [[Cycloplegic refraction]]
-==Prevention==
+== Treatment ==
-Prevention strategies for cyclospasm may include regular eye exams, proper eye care, and avoiding activities that strain the eyes.
+Treatment options for cyclospasm may include:
+* [[Corrective lenses]]
+* [[Cycloplegic eye drops]] to relax the ciliary muscle
+* [[Vision therapy]]
+* [[Lifestyle modifications]] to reduce eye strain
