It will not be correct to say contact lens power by mere; y knowing the glasses you have to be examined by a contact lens specialist because, a contact lens comes in direct contact with the cornea, which is the clear covering over the front surface of the eye. For this reason, there are additional measurements needed for fitting a contact lens and these need to be included in the prescription.
