How to read eye glass prescription?

I went for a eye checkup today and got the following results.

(DISTANCE)

RIGHT EYE-
SPH CYL AXIS V. A.
-1.25 -3.5d 180 6/6

LEFT EYE
SPH CYL AXIS V. A
-0.75 -3.5D 180 6/6

So the question is what defines the power of lens - is it the spherical one or the cylindrical one?
I mean which of the lens corrects my nearsightedness?
Is the condition of my eyes VERY bad?
Basically what do i conclude after this eye test?
Please reply fast…
Thanks in advance
