Abstract: With the development of interdisciplinary integration between medicine and engineering, the role of mechanical factors in the pathogenesis, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of ophthalmic diseases has become increasingly prominent, emerging as a focal point in both basic and clinical research.Oculomechanics medicine focuses on the application of mechanical factors in understanding disease mechanisms and developing therapeutic interventions in ophthalmology. Centered on establishing direct correlations between biomechanical parameters of ocular tissues and clinical management, this field organically integrates four key components: ocular biomechanics, ocular mechanobiology, ocular mechanodiagnostics, and ocular mechanotherapeutics. Specifically, ocular biomechanics investigates the mechanical responses arising from biological changes in ocular tissues, while ocular mechanobiology explores biological alterations induced by mechanical forces. Ocular mechanodiagnostics leverages mechanical characteristics to develop novel diagnostic tools for enhanced precision in early disease detection, whereas ocular mechanotherapeutics focuses on formulating personalized treatment strategies through mechanical interventions in ocular tissues.
