Abstract
A structural model of the eye is proposed. The model is based on structural laws as employed by civil engineers and on mechanical properties of the sclera and vitreous. The structural behavior relates many loose clinical observations. Progressive myopia is considered a mechanical problem due to an abnormal vitreous pressure than than an optics problem. Vitrectomy is suggested as the appropriate solution.Keywords
