Testing of Contact Lenses
Manufacturers of hydrogels and finished-product contact lenses muss test certain elastic characteristics. To simulate the repeated application and removal of lenses, the break resistance of the dry and moist material, as well as the structure of the material at deflection, must be tested.
Testing of contact lenses with ZwickRoell
ZwickRoell offers a temperature-controlled bath with special submersible pneumatic grips for testing contact lenses. The values to be determined are the modulus, strain up to break, and tensile strength. Since the forces measured here are very small, the buoyancy components of the specimen grips that hang in the bath must be compensated for in the testing software (testXpert II).
