Claim 0:
1. An Ocular Force Measuring Apparatus, configured to be cooperatively engaged with a contact lens, comprising:
a carrier having a proximal end and a distal end;
a lens manipulator comprising a proximal end with a suction cup portion, adapted to cooperatively engage with the contact lens, and a distal end that operably connects to the proximal end of the carrier; and
a strain gauge load cell, wherein the carrier is cooperatively connected to the strain gauge load cell;, wherein, when the suction cup portion is cooperatively engaged with the contact lens arranged on the surface of an eye, moving the carrier with the lens manipulator thereon away from the eye causes the lens manipulator to pull the contact lens thereby exerting a measureable force on the strain gauge load cell.
