How come my contact lense prescription is the same as my eyeglass prescription?

I was at my opthalmologis's for a check-up and tested my vision as per normal.

He gave me a new prescription for my glasses and I told him I wanted to start wearing contacts. I have a .25 difference between my left and right eye. All he did was increase the RX of the lower power to make it the same as the higher one for my contact lens RX so my contacts for each eye would be the same.

I thought contact lenses were weaker in RX cause they are placed closer to the eye than glasses?
