Firstly, thanks to all.  I've learnt a lot about glasses from this
group already.  I've never had glasses before and I suppose I likely
don't really need them yet, but I'm tired of my night vision depth of
field being miserable while driving.  I definitely need the reading
glasses portion of the prescription.

I have a few questions before I go ahead and order up my first pair of
glasses.

Never having had glasses before doesn't help the process of buying on
line.  I know this prescription is not a very strong one, but I don't
know enough to tell where the decimal points have been left out of the
numbers below.  I'd appreciate a hand with that.

OD - RE SPH.  -025  CYL.  -025  AXIS  80
OS - LE SPH.  -025  CYL.  -025  AXIS  85

ADD
OD  +225
OS  +225

The PD numbers were written on their card as being:
35/64
32/67

I measured my PD and my right eye is 35mm from the middle of my nose
bridge and my left eye is 32mm from centre.

I read those numbers as:
OD - 35
OS - 32
Distance - 67
Near     - 64

Is that about how others read them too?

I need a bifocal lens and look forward to having progressive lenses.

Am I better off having two pair of glasses, one as sunglasses and the
other clear or is it conventional wisdom that the photochromic is the
way to go?

Cheers!  Ian
