拉普拉斯定律将空心球体内的压力与球体半径和球体壁的张力联系起来。提出了一种在眼球中实现拉普拉斯定律的理论模型。该物理模型可能有助于解释青光眼盘损伤的某些方面，如近视眼对青光眼损伤的敏感性较高，以及低压型青光眼青光眼神经头损伤的可能解释。
Laplace's law relates the pressure inside a hollow sphere with its radius and the tension in its walls. A theoretical model implementing Laplace's law in the eye globe is presented. The physical model may help to explain certain aspects in glaucomatous disk damage such as higher susceptibility of myopic eyes to glaucomatous damage and a possible explanation for glaucoma nerve head damage in low tension glaucoma.
