The eye is the human visual organ, one of the most important organs in human sense, and is composed of the eyeball and its auxiliary structure, and about 80% of the information in the brain is obtained through the eye. With the improvement of economic level, the change of life style of people and the change of population structure in China, the disease spectrum of blinding eye diseases is changed greatly, and the main blinding eye diseases are changed from the past trachoma infectious eye diseases into metabolic and age-related non-infectious eye diseases mainly including cataract, keratopathy, retinopathy, ametropia, glaucoma and weak eyes, which are the key points of the challenge of eye health work in China and the future eye health work.
At the present stage, the research and development of pathophysiology of ophthalmic diseases and novel therapeutic drugs are mainly realized by two-dimensional cell culture models, animal models and human tissue donation.

In recent decades, organ chips based on microfluidic technology have been developed at a high speed, and gradually become an important platform for new generation of bionic research in the field of biomedicine due to the characteristics that the microenvironment is close to the physiological environment, accurate control can be provided in time and space dimensions, and multi-tissue function research is easy to realize. The use of microfluidic technology to study the effects of corneal epithelial barrier effects on the metabolism of eye drops has been reported[2]Effects of blinking on progression of dry eye[3]Effects of blinking shear force on corneal epithelial cell phenotype[4]. However, the device is not suitable for use in a kitchenHowever, none of the above models reduces the intact human corneal structure, which is crucial for the study of corneal microenvironment and drug metabolism in general ophthalmic diseases.
