Do i need prescription glasses or cheap reading glasses?

Sorry, you need glasses (or contact lenses–these must be toric lenses). For one, your left eye is nearsighted, so it won’t help you to buy reading glasses (which correct farsightedness and presbyopia (which is the problem old people get when they cannot focus up close)–to use reading glasses, the first number in the prescription has to be positive). Also, you have astigmatisms (as indicated by the -1.25 and the -2.00 in the prescription). And your astigmatisms look bad enough, from your prescription, that they would really affect your ability to see. My -1.00 astigmatism in my eye really distotts my vision, and your astimgatisms are even worse than mine is (since the numbers are higher). Reading glasses don’t correct astigmatisms.
