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!"]
