Shear-Thinning and Temperature-Dependent Viscosity Relationships of Contemporary Ocular Lubricants
Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the shear viscosity of contemporary, commercially available ocular lubricants at various shear rates and temperatures and to derive relevant mathematical viscosity models that are impactful for prescribing and developing eye drops to treat dry eye disease.
METHODS: The shear viscosity of 12 ocular lubricants was measured using a rheometer and a temperature-controlled bath at clinically relevant temperatures at which users …
