Mechanical Coupling of Extraocular Muscles, Optic Nerve Tension, and Orbital Fat as a Driver of Directional Posterior Ocular Deformation

2026-03-30

Abstract excerpt

Posterior ocular deformation is central to myopia-associated structural change, yet a unified mechanical explanation for directionally biased deformation remains lacking. We propose a biomechanical hypothesis in which extraocular muscles, optic nerve tension, and orbital fat act as a mechanically coupled system that generates directional loading on the posterior globe. In this framework, the medial rectus contribu...
