Similar to Bates' approach, Endmyopia is dependent on eye strain being eliminated. In that respect Bates' teachings provide for some relief. [[Ciliary muscle spasm]] is the primary culprit in what's known as "[[pseudomyopia]]/[[near induced transient myopia]]". Exercises present in Bates Method can be utilized to relieve eye strain and get rid of [[ciliary muscle spasm]].
