Being myopic (nearsighted, shortsighted) means that you cannot see distant objects as well as you can see objects near. The +1.25 you mention indicates that you are actually hyperopic (farsighted, longsighted) wherein you cannot see near objects as well as you can see objects distant.
It may also be that the +1.25 is an add bifocal to resolve issues related to presbyopia. Presbyopia is when the natural lens of the eye is unable to change shape to focus on items near. This is when you must move object farther away to read them or require reading glasses or bifocals. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable after about age 40 and will affect people who have myopic, hyperopic, or emmetropic (no refractive error) vision.
If the +1.25 is add for bifocals, this is about medium correction for presbyopia. If the +1.25 is for hyperopia, then you are a moderate hyperope. If the +1.25 is actually a -1.25 and you are myopic, then you are a very low myope.
