My specs power is (L = -10) (R=-9) but the contact lens power shifted to (L = -9) (R=-8) why so is it correct or is there any discrepancy? I got it from lenskart and she said she converted my power

The contact lens sits on your eyes whereas specs are at a distance from your eyes...this distance of your specs from your eye is called vertex distance...so they have adjusted the contact lens power for the vertex distance...so nothing to worry...they have done the right thing

It seems to be corrected, adjusted according to the vertex distance as it's a high power.
