Uncrimping of the collagen fibers induces scleral stiffening at the macroscopic level. Initially the collagen fibers are buckled, then uncrimp and eventually become straight due to acute elevations of IOP, thus limiting scleral deformations at high IOP values. Note that the parameters c3 and c4 govern the degree of nonlinearity of each scleral shell.
