the paradigm that pressure-related stress and strain in the optic nerve head tissues drive glaucomatous axon damage.

In ophthalmology, biomechanical theory of glaucoma refers to the paradigm that pressure-related stress and strain in the optic nerve head tissues drive glaucomatous axon damage. This meaning comes from Burgoyne (2005) in Progress in Retinal and Eye Research.[1]
