Impact response of contact lenses is measured using the Levitation Mass Method (LMM). In the LMM, a small mass collides with contact lenses and the impact force is measured with high accuracy as the inertial force of the moving part. A pneumatic linear bearing is used to achieve linear motion with sufficiently small friction acting on the moving part. Hysteresis loop and consumed energy as mechanical characteristics of contact lenses are also calculated.. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
