No idea where you are but those numbers don't represent a prescription in any place I ever heard of.

Astigmatism basically means your eyes aren't spherical - more rugby-ball shaped than football. So you have different powers over the surface of the eye. More people have it than don't.

Also most people have differences between the two eyes so to have a different power in each is perfectly normal.

Visit your optician/optometrist (eye doctor in the US) and ask them to explain your prescription and whether you have astigmatism.

For reference an ophthalmologist is usually a hospital specialist, ocular surgeon etc they wouldn't deal with a spectacle prescription.

I'm a dispensing optician.
