Abstract
A mechanics-based mathematical model of retinal detachment due to the geometric changes of the eye associated with the evolution of myopia is developed. This includes deformation of the retina due to biological growth of the retina, as well as elastic deformation imposed on the retina by the myopic change in shape of the much stiffer choroid and sclera. The problem is formulated as a propagating boundary value problem in the calculus of...
