Does eye strain even damage your vision long term?

Your eyeballs elongate when you keep straining them to look at nearby objects for long periods of time.
Temporarily, no? I haven't read of any studies that corroborate any vision issues from eye strain. I thought this was an urban myth
You get pseudomyopia initially, and over time it may develop into actual myopia.
