No contact lenses power is likely to be little lesser because ,the specs lenses are worn 12to 15 mms away from the cornea and the contact lenses are worn just on the surface of the cornea.
So please get your lenses tried before buying.
Can consult an ophthalmologist nearby or an optometrist trained in contact lens testing.

Power of lens remains same, if you use contact lens or glasses, because the effective lens power is what matters.
