Mystery Solved

I looked and looked and looked and looked some more over DAYS and I just saw it tonight.

The lenses ARE different!!

My RX:  -0.25/ HIGH +2.50
My order: +2.50 /HIGH +2.50

The nice person at 1800 contacts said:

what does that first number mean? the -0.25

That would be the corrective power of the lenses. The negative sign means you are near sighted, but only just. The +2.50 you received are for farsighted people.

Well, I'm definitely not farsighted!

NO WONDER all my distance is blurry.
But that first pair.... I could not see up close!

I have an RGP fitting on Friday, and I'm going to ask about this.

Soft lenses are confusing.

I'm getting an exchange on these lenses.
