Answers:
It depends!.!.!.
If you can see things far away but find it hard to read you are long sighted so you would be +2!.75 for both eyes
butt!.!.
if you can see things close but cant see things far away eg tv or blackboard in school you are short sighted so you would be -2!.75 in both eyes!. Just like me!!

Edit - Hey danielle, we have blackboards and white boards in all our schools, whether private o public! :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Contacts are also fit for base curve and size, if you did not have a fitting along with your eyeglass refraction, you will need to do so!. Also need to determine whether you are near or farsighted!. Plus, at times, glasses and contact prescriptions are different, for instance in my left eye my eyeglass prescription is -6!.00, but power wise I wear a -5!.25 because the difference in vertex distances, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Contacts has a slightly different perscription then glasses, since the air medium and distance is no longer a factor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You must have a prescription in order to get contacts!. See your optometrist and get fit for them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
