Recently i got eyeglass prescription were i got power -2.75 in both eyes. should i also use contact lenses with power -2,75 in both eyes?

Probably: There is not always a direct correspondence between eyeglass power and contact lenses but with a simply myopia that you have, you can feel safe ordering the same power in contacts. Be sure to follow the rules of wearing contact lenses to avoid trouble.
