Which prescription should I use for my new glasses?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice on how to proceed here. So I’ve been using glasses with the following prescription:

R SPH -3.75 CYL -1.50 AX 15
L SPH -4.50 CYL -1.50 AX 160

They felt fine but about a two months ago I went ahead and got my prescription checked for contact lenses and got the following prescription:

R SPH -3.50 CYL -1.75 AX 10
L SPH -4.25 CYL -1.75 AX 160

The optometrist explained the other optometrist got my cylinder wrong and that’s why she got a refraction than my glasses which fit me fine. I did aget contacts with this newer prescription and they feel great, but since she gave me this new prescription I decided to go ahead and order some glasses from Zenni with the newer prescription, and I’ve been wearing them for about two weeks and they feel much better than my old ones. I did google it and saw that it’s rare for my glasses and contacts to have the same prescription and I’m just not sure if this prescription can be used for both glasses and contacts. Should I follow my gut here? I could really use some advice
