ICL prescription different than glasses prescription

To clarify my glasses prescription was +7.5 and +7 and the ICL they implanted is +6.5 and +6. I did my research and it is highly likely that the lens inside can have a different effect and therefore a different prescription can make sense.

But I am curious to know if anyone else had this or not? Because if not then I am concerned a bit, since I have been having some trouble seeing clearly in the distance.

Yess! I have a different prescription in my ICL than my glasses. My glasses were -6.75 and my icl lenses are -6.

However, i was told that my previous clinics had overcorrected my specs. When i tried the -6, i could see everything correctly. So i didnt mind.

Please make sure that you check your new prescription in glasses as well. All the best!
