The line means you have no astigmatism in your left eye (OS). The -.25 measured in your right eye is so small you could even skip entering it in an online prescription form. In fact, if it were my prescription, I'd get an inexpensive pair with -2.25 sphere in both eyes and nothing else.
With that kind of low prescription, you might even want to experiment with using reading glasses for close work to see if you're one of those people where that helps reverse the nearsightedness, or at least keep it from progressing any more. The idea being that if you wear the glasses a lot, the increase of the nearsightedness could come from the adaptation necessary to use the prescription during close work. Supposedly there are a bunch of airline and military pilots who used this method to fight their myopia and keep their jobs. Certainly cheap and simple enough to be worth a try. [OD is "oculus dexter," OS is "oculus sinister;" Latin for "right eye" and "left eye." As Shakespeare didn't write, "The eyes have it! / An eye for an eye! / My kingdom for an eye!"] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
