有一些需要特别注意的协议中的三个关键步骤：设计和生产模具（第1.1节），装配平台（部分2.2.1-2.2.3），并监测实验运行（部分2.2.4-2.2.7 ）。在设计和生产模具（第1.1节）的观点出发，眼球片应根据一个人的角膜的尺寸来设计。然而，它可以由眼球片可以创建完全符合商用接触透镜（CL）之前所需要的模具的多个原型。另外，当眼球和眼睑片相接触，以确保泪液整个眼睛模型顺畅地流动时，CL为?...

的接触透镜（CL）的竞技场内的感兴趣的两个显著领域包括不适和新颖CL应用的开发。阐明底层CL不适机制是已经躲避领域几十年来一个问题。8新颖的发展，功能通函，如药物-递送装置1,3,9和生物传感器，10-12是越来越大的兴趣的区域，具有巨大潜力的市场。在这两种情况下， 体外模型精密将提供相关信息，以帮助在开发阶段选择合适的镜片材料或设计特征。不幸的是， 在体外模型用于评估CLS和其他眼部相关的应用目前都比较粗糙，不健全的。传统上， 在体外 CL研究评价泪膜沉积或药物输送含有固定的流体体积，静态的，大容量的小瓶中进行哪些格雷亚TLY超过生理量。此外，这种简单的模型缺乏天然泪液流分量和闪烁的反射，这两者都限定眼部环境的因素。 一个复杂的，生理相关的眼“模式”的发展将需要多学科的方法，并要求在体内验证可观。由于这些原因，对于我们的体外眼睛模型的基本框架是高度通用的，这样，该模型可以通过未来的升级和调制来不断改进。迄今为止，该模型能够模拟泪液量，撕裂流，机械磨损和空气暴露的。这样做的目的是创造一个体外模型，将提供有意义的结果，这是预测和免费在体内和离体观察。

development of an in vitro ocular platform to test contact lenses

Currently, in vitro evaluations of contact lenses (CLs) for drug delivery are typically performed in large volume vials,1-6 which fail to mimic physiological tear volumes.7 The traditional model also lacks the natural tear flow component and the blinking reflex, both of which are defining factors of the ocular environment. The development of a novel model is described in this study, which consists of a unique 2-piece design, eyeball and eyelid piece, capable of mimicking physiological tear volume. The models are created from 3-D printed molds (Polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon molds), which can be used to generate eye models from various polymers, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and agar. Further modifications to the eye pieces, such as the integration of an explanted human or animal cornea or human corneal construct, will permit for more complex in vitro ocular studies. A commercial microfluidic syringe pump is integrated with the platform to emulate physiological tear secretion. Air exposure and mechanical wear are achieved using two mechanical actuators, of which one moves the eyelid piece laterally, and the other moves the eyeballeyepiece circularly. The model has been used to evaluate CLs for drug delivery and deposition of tear components on CLs.
