Dailies Contact Lenses

What does my contact lense prescription mean please?

Today i had an eye test so i can get daily disposable contact lenses. When i left i was given a card with these details: Right: -1.25 (SPH) -0.25 (CYL) 180.0 (Axis) Left: -1.25 (SPH) -0.25 (CYL) 180.0 (AXIS) So what do these numbers mean? Also I was lookin at contact lenses online and found that many places ask for power, diameter and base size, etc How do i use my prescription to get contacts? Thanks for help

1. well the first number is the power, the other 2 I dont really know, cuz you should have a BC number for base curve or base size, and is the 180 really 180 or is 18.0? cuz 18.0 could be your diameter.
2. go to an optometrist and give them ur presription, if u dont feel like u need a new prescription they will give u a new pair if ur prescription is in stock.
