“Can contact lens prescription be used for glasses?”
I am a 32 year old male. I wonder if contact lens prescription can be used for glasses?

Usually not.
Depends on the power of the contact lens. Usually eyeglass prescription differs slightly.
Contact prescriptions are different than for glasses. Glasses need pupil distance measurement and contacts do not. Also, not as much astigmatism is in contact prescription vs contacts.
Unfortunately, no. The strength of a corrective lens varies depending on how near or far it is from the surface of the eye. The difference in the proper strength between glasses and a contact lens is not huge, but it is significant.

No. Contacts are closer to the eyeball than glasses, so the prescription is usually different. SO
Hello,
the answer to your question is no! The prescription required for glasses is generally more precise than that for contact lenses and requires a 'refraction' by an eye care professional before dispensing

Yes, the optometrist will do some adjustments.
