Advances in Ocular Tribology

  • Chapter
Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film, and Dry Eye Syndromes

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 350))

Abstract

Tribology is the science and technology concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion to each other.1 The principles of tribology are also interconnected with the principles of rheology.2 Rheology is the science of shape changes in solids and flow in liquids resulting from external forces. Lubrication and abhesion (antonym of adhesion), as well as friction and adhesion also have surface chemical implications even though those have remained mostly unexplored.3,4
