Cover Story: Three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic channels simulate human tissues such as blood vessels and can be used in surgical simulator models to evaluate surgical devices and train novice surgeons. We established a novel method for fabricating microchannels within a spherical model such as an eyeball. We propose integrating the newly fabricated eye model with the membrane covered 3D microchannel to train novice surgeons to perform glaucoma surgery. View this paper
