A member asked:
I use cylindrical glasses with -1.25 power. will it remain same for my contact lenses?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
At this power: Yes the contact lenses would be the same. But you need to have them fit with the appropriate base curve, this requires an eye care doctor to determine the fit.

Maybe: Your contact lens sphere ; cylinder in your eyeglasses has to be vertex corrected to your eye surface. Depending on these #'s it may affect the final sphere ; cylinder # on your rx.
