    The glasses rx is different to the contact lens rx due to the fact that the contact lens is sitting much closer to your eye (on the surface). This means the power must be changed to give you the same vision. Also, some (now rarely used) contact lenses actually change the shape of the front of your eye (cornea) to create the correct prescription.
