Abstract
Our findings suggest that shear stress as it occurs at the ocular surface during blinking exerts marked effects on corneal epithelial cells, such as changes in cellular morphology and expression of cell junctions. The described model may be useful for in vitro investigations of ocular surface epithelia as it represents a much more physiologic reproduction of the in vivo situation than the commonly applied static culture conditions.
