As that's just your base power, then should be fine to get contacts for. I think they go up past 12 diopters for the daily disposable ones.
Contacts only become difficult when you have complicated prescriptions involving astigmatism, if your prescription is just to correct regular distance issues then I think you should be good.
Also, your contact prescription is different to your glasses prescription as the lenses are closer to your eye. So your contacts prescription is actually written as less. |
Yes, -12.00 to +6.00 is standard.
Astigmatism may also be solved with contact lenses as well, to a certain extent. But, I must warn you, it's not cheap. We're talking up to 8-10 times more expensive than a standard set of 6 ''continual use'' lenses.

Go ahead and try it. It's something that'll change your life, no exaggeration. The first time I tried a pair on, I was at -4.00 and the moment I forced them in my eyes (it takes a few tries for some people), I was blown away, like going from 480p to 4K. The amount of detail and colour I could see, with no distortion, with perfect peripheral vision. I remember my firsts well, the first kiss, first sexual experience, first time getting drunk and this. It's just something worth trying in your life, if you need a sight correction device, of course. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Really? Last time I looked (admittedly several years ago) I was told they couldn't do contacts beyond -6!
