Abstract

The average age of Japan increases year by year due to the development of medicine. In the future we will focus on diseases caused by aging. They are provoked by deformation of organs. So, We proposed that we could heal diseases by deforming the organs and named it as an organ pressure remediation. In this study, we focused on high myopia caused by deformation of the eyeball and conducted research. In the experiment, eyeball compression test was performed. It was found that the eyeball was the hardest at the first time and the almost constant in the subsequent experiments. Also, non-compressed fundus tissues and compressed one were observed. The thickness of the retina did not change with compression of 0N and compression of 25N. However, it shows that compressive stress acts because minute wrinkles are formed on the surface during compression. Thus, we indicated the possibility of organ pressure remediation.
