Microfluidics in the eye: a review of glaucoma implants from an ...
2023年10月17日 · Microfluidic devices such as glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices are routinely used by ophthalmologists to manage elevated IOP, by creating an artificial pathway for the over-accumulated aqueous humor (AH) in a glaucomatous eye, when the natural pathways are severely blocked.
Microfluidics in the eye: a review of glaucoma implants from an ...
2023年10月18日 · A novel microinvasive glaucoma surgery device, the Beacon Aqueous Microshunt (BAM), drains aqueous humor directly from the anterior chamber to the surface of the eye vs draining to enclosed...
Ophthalmology meets Microfluidics: Advances in Lab-on-a-chip ...
Recent advances in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies have paved the way for innovative solutions, including eye-on-a-chip disease models, miniaturized diagnostic devices, continuous monitoring platforms, and targeted ocular drug delivery systems.
An implantable microfluidic device for self-monitoring of
2014年8月24日 · Here we show that microfluidic principles can be used to develop an implantable sensor that has a limit of detection of 1 mm Hg, high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility. This device has...
Microfluidics in the eye: a review of glaucoma implants from an ...
Clinically, intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction is the only proven treatment to halt the progression of glaucoma. Microfluidic devices such as glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices are routinely used by ophthalmologists to manage elevated IOP, by creating an artificial pathway for
Microfluidic Devices for Eye Irritation Tests of Cosmetics
2019年4月8日 · In this paper, we describe the development and application of a simple microfluidic device for in vitro irritation tests of cosmetics. The device was fabricated with a three-compartment diffusion system to mimic a hen’s egg test …
Microfluidic Autologous Serum Eye-Drops Preparation as a …
2016年7月4日 · Here we use spiral microchannels to demonstrate a strategy for the preparation of autologous serum eye-drops, which provide benefits for all dry eye patients; 100% and 90% removal efficiencies are achieved for 10 μm microbeads and …
Pressure-Triggered Microfluidic Contact Lens for Ocular Drug …
Contact lenses, as a wearable device for the eye, are a good platform for drug delivery. In this paper, we propose a type of microfluidic contact lens that integrates a microchannel and a micropump and uses a pressure source to trigger the release of a drug.

2018年11月28日 · Silicone oil (SiO) with additives of high-molecular-weight (HMW) SiO molecules, eases both the injection and removal. When used inside an eye, it remains unclear how increasing extensional viscosity of SiO might reduce emulsification. Using cell-lined models, this study aims to understand the reason why SiO with HMW is less prone to emulsification.
