Objectives
1. Fabricate an eye-cavity-on-a-chip to mimic the physiological micron-environment of the posterior segment of the eye 2. Quantify the emulsification resistance of conventional silicone oil under simulated saccadic eye movements inside the eye-cavity-on-a-chip 3. Evaluate novel silicone oil tamponades against the conventional ones
