A method and clip for treating presbyopia and/or open angle glaucoma in which the sclera is supported or reinforced, while substantially maintaining the spacial relationship between the ciliary muscle and the lens. The method includes making an incision in the conjunctiva to gain access to the sclera overlying the ciliary muscle. The Tenon's capsules are moved laterally to expose the sclera, and the sclera is extended outwardly. A clip, or series of clips, is provided having two closeable arms for engaging the outwardly-extended sclera therebetween. The arms of the clip are closed on the sclera so as to grasp a portion of the sclera, and then the Tenon's capsules are slid over the clip and the conjunctiva is closed.
