A member asked:
What would my contact lense prescription be if my glasses prescription is -1.75 on my right eye and -1.25 on my left eye? is it possible to tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CL prescription: Yes, it is possible to tell. It can be calculated from the power of your glasses and the distance of the lens of the glasses to your cornea. For a low prescription like yours, it will most likely be the same as your glasses. For higher prescriptions, it would be a different prescription.
