ok, so my power is -6 in the right and -5.75 in the left. cylinder is -1.5 and axis 180 for both. so according to the chart, i should step both down to -5.5 spherical and -1.25 cyl?
or should i get my eyes tested specifically for CL power?
thanks for the reply.
Ok..
Right eye: -6 (spherical) ; -1.5 (cylindrical) x 180deg
Left eye: -5.75 (spherical) ; -1.5 (cylindrical) x 180deg
Now if you want to get yourself spectacles, you will use the power as above.
But if you want to get a pair of contact lens, you should actually buy one with these numbers-
Right eye: -5.5 (spherical) ; -1.25 (cylindrical) x 180deg
Left eye: -5.5 (spherical) ; -1.25 (cylindrical) x 180deg
Please note: I am not an eye doctor/specialist, its just the knowledge i have gained over years wearing both specs and contact lenses that i am sharing with you. Please consult a specialist if you have any doubts about your power.
That said, i'll be glad to help if you need more advice.
