“…Greene (11) emphasized that ocular rigidity should be determined for a given eye before performing tonography, as very different results are expected for eyes of differing volumes (compare Equations 1 and 3 to see that K is inversely proportional to ocular volume). Note also that viscoelastic creep might confound the measurement of outflow facility by this method, but experimental studies indicate that this is not a serious error (24,25).…”

The eye transduces light, and we usually do not think of it as a biomechanical structure. Yet it is actually a pressurized, thick-walled shell that has an internal and external musculature, a remarkably complex internal vascular system, dedicated fluid production and drainage tissues, and a variety of specialized fluid and solute transport systems. Biomechanics is particularly involved in accommodation (focusing near and far), as well as in common disorders such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, myopia, and presbyopia. In this review, we give a (necessarily brief) overview of many of the interesting biomechanical aspects of the eye, concluding with a list of open problems.
