How Easy, or Hard, it is to Rip Contacts

Before everyone starts stuffing themselves full of turkey, I wanted to do a very (un)scientific look at how strong contacts can be. I found some trials we have an extraordinarily large number of and decided to see how easy it was to rip them by using brute force. Just remember, the higher the prescription the more effort it takes to rip a contact. Unlike this video, the most common way people rip contacts is from inadvertently getting their fingernail caught on the lens, which weakens the material.
