Should be written this way with the decimal:

OD - RE SPH.  -0.25  CYL.  -0.25  AXIS  80
OS - LE SPH.  -0.25  CYL.  -0.25  AXIS  85

For your light prescription I woul go with a seperate pair of glasses
as sunglasses and one for regular distance vision than progressives or
photchromatic.  You have a myopic prescription meaning you are
nearsighted, so you should be able to see up close without glasses.
