Claim 25:
26. A method of studying ocular drug kinetics in an eye using an assembly as defined in claim 1, the method comprising:
(i) pumping fluid into the fluid inlet of the assembly;
(ii) establishing a steady state first flow rate out of the fluid outlet;
(iii) establishing a steady state second flow rate out of the posterior outlet and adjusting the third flow rate of the balancing fluid, such that the sum of the second and third flow rates will be equal to the first flow rate;
(iv) injecting a drug into the assembly via the injection inlet;
(v) measuring the rate at which the drug exits the assembly via the fluid outlet;
(vi) when present, measuring the rate at which the drug exits the assembly via the posterior outlet;
(vii) adding a thermally regulated fluid to the volume to control the temperature of the assembly or part of the assembly; and
(viii) rocking, agitating or twisting the assembly.
