Your prescriptions for single-vision glasses for either computer terminals or reading didn't specify the sphere numbers for distance vision. Based on the fact that my "add" for reading is +2.00 to +2.5 depending on the reading distance (same for both eyes) and my sphere powers for distance are +1.25 and +1.5, I am just guessing that you might need some sphere for best distance vision, even though you get along ok now without glasses for far objects.
But I am neither an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, and certainly not qualified to specify your prescription in this forum. Nobody should be trusted to do that remotely. That's why I recommend that you get a re-examination and a complete prescription from a professional before placing an order for on-line glasses. If you intend to order progressives, you certainly don't want a "best guess" rather than a real prescription. Progressives are a more demanding proposition than single-vision or bifocals. To maximize the likelihood that you will be satisfied, get a prescription from a reputable professional to submit to your chosen supplier. Otherwise, you're just gambling and you might hate what you get.
