Irreversible stretching (creep) of the eye sclera, regarded as the cause of high myopia, has been studied experimentally. Both dramatic acceleration and appreciable deceleration of the bovine sclera creep have been observed in the presence of some enzymes. Connective tissue creep caused by static and cyclic mechanical stress (gravitation, blood pressure, etc.) can be associated with many age-specific and pathological changes. The authors believe that detection of appropriate creep inhibitors will make it possible to replace surgery with preventive therapy in ophthalmology and cosmetology.
眼睛巩膜的不可逆拉伸（蠕变）被认为是高度近视的病因，已经过实验研究。在某些酶存在的情况下，已观察到牛巩膜蠕变显著加速和明显减速。由静态和循环机械应力（重力、血压等）引起的结缔组织蠕变可能与许多特定年龄和病理变化有关。作者认为，检测到合适的蠕变抑制剂将使眼科和美容学中用预防性治疗取代手术成为可能。
