Question: Is a prescription for eyeglasses the same as a prescription for contacts, or is it different!?

Answers:
They are most often not the same!.
There could be a 0!.25 , 0!.50 or even 0!.75 correction for astigmatism in the glasses Rx that won't show up on a contact Rx!.
For instance your glasses could be:
-2!.00 -0!.50 X 90!.!.!.but your contact Rx would be just a -2!.25 SPH
If you used the -2!.25 in your glasses , it wouldn't work!.
Probably 75% of the time, the Rx won't be the same for both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no its not the prescription for contacts is lower than the one for glasses since contacts your gonna have put in your eyes!!! and glasses are a lil bit away from your eyes!Www@Answer-Health@Com
The numbers may be the same, but one prescription is for glasses and another may be for contact lenses!. What ever the doctor writes is what it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
