Ciliary Muscles Extreme Fatigues

Hi,

I used computer all day and night and blink fine. But lately.
My eyes always get pain after using for only 2 hours.
Thorough check by opthalmologists produced no problems
in the eye except Eyestrain.

Have you actually heard of people who read or use computer
too much that their ciliary muscles have overworked and
got fatigues much like marathon runner running non-stop
in circle for the whole day.

What I need to know is how many days to stop all work
that needs the eyes especially in close reading or computer
to make it return to normal. I presume the ciliary muscles
can overwork too and rehabiliate..

Most important of all. I want to hear from actual people who are told
to stop all eyes related activities except distant seeing to
rehabiliate the ciliary muscles. Does this happens?

The consequences of not heeding this may be ciliary muscles
spasms where the eyes acommodations have lock into one
mode and you get ciliary muscles and crystalline spasm all day?

How often does it all happen and is the cure to stop readiing close to
material for a week or two. Do you doctors also recommened it in this
scenerio of incrediblly overwork cilliary muscles and crystalline
lens?

Lastly. What if spending a week or two not using the eyes is
not done and the overwork eyes with pain are continued being
overwork, would the ciliary muscles get permanent damage of some
kind?

Hope I can hear direct from the victims too.
Thanks.

Dear Smith,

This is a public fourm, so you will get a lot of negative statements
about prevention, and anyone who presents scientific arguments
supporting prevention.

Here is the second-opinion developed over the last fifty years.

So ... now you DO believe in ciliary spasm/accommodative myopia?

Wow, Otis ... you truly ARE amazing ... just ... not in a good way....

Are you preventing latent hyperopia?

This poster would be better off nearsighted.

That isn't very specific and it isn't clear whether the doctor checked for
things like phoria, latent hyperopia and focusing difficulty. It's more
disturbing that the doctor gave you no answers and forced you to seek help
from a bunch of computer junkies.

So my first suggestion is to go back and say "Doc, it still hurts and you
didn't tell me what to do about it."

One common treatment for this condition would be a pair of low-power (+1.00)
drugstore glasses. These should relieve any excess demand on the ciliary
muscle. If +1.00 reading glasses have no effect, then fatigue in the ciliary
muscle isn't likely causing your problem.

Your ciliary muscle is tougher than you think. You won't do harm by
over-working it. If that's what you're doing. We don't know that.

"Eyestrain" is not a very specific term and is likely a diagnosis
based on your complaint of pain rather than anything the eye docs
discovered.

If your ciliary muscle was overworked and fatigued, the eye doc should
have discovered that through accommodative range and facility testing.

Did the eye doc recommend this?  Accommodative problems are usually
treated with vision therapy, reading glasses or eye execises, not by
avoiding near work.

If you were diagnosed with a problem that could be treated by avoiding
all near work, the eye doc would have told your how long to stop.

My guess is that you have dry eye, blepharitis or ocular surface
disorder any of which can cause eye pain after an hour or two of near
work.  Return to the eye doc after a morning of computer work for tear
testing.
