An optometrist has a choice to give a patient either regular glasses or contact lenses to correct nearsightedness. Usually, regular glasses sit a few centimeters in front of the eye and contact lenses right on the eye. What do you think, the power of the contact lenses prescribed would be :
a) the same
b) greater
c) less than that of regular glasses?
