Sph -1.00 eye exam, what does it mean?

Near sighted: That is a prescription for eyeglasses and means you are slightly nearsighted (see better close than far). But it's mild and you may or may not require glasses.

Mild nearsightedness: You have mild nearsightedness without astigmatism. That means you could see at distance more clearly with glasses of power -1.00 diopters.
