Why is Power Conversion Necessary?
Glasses sit approximately 12mm from the eye (the Vertex Distance), while contact lenses rest directly on the cornea. This difference in distance significantly impacts the effective power, especially for prescriptions of -4.00 Diopters (D) or higher. Use this tool to accurately adjust your power.
Additionally, if your prescription uses a different format (Plus vs. Minus cylinder), the Transposition feature ensures you can quickly verify your power in the standard format used by your practitioner.
