We propose to go away from the electromagnetic wave description of light and to explain through a purely corpuscular and neutral approach, the phenomenon of the slowing down of light in a transparent medium. The quantum predictions and ours are compared against experimental refractive indices. In our framework the optical Kerr phenomenon finds a very natural interpretation and its numerical values are obtained easily
