Astigmatism Strength?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I just got back from the eye doctor today and I asked him if I had an Astigmatism (I thought I was told I did, but I wasn’t sure) he said I had a very very slight one. He said he could barely tell if I had one or not. I don’t wear toric lenses I wear normal contact lenses. The strength is -5.25. I was planning on joining Army ROTC but I just found this in the medical requirements:
c. Refractive error (hyperopia (367.0), myopia (367.1), astigmatism (367.2)), in any spherical equivalent of worse than –8.00 or + 8.00 diopters; if ordinary spectacles cause discomfort by reason of ghost images or prismatic displacement; or if corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery. However, for entrance into a military academy or ROTC programs, the following conditions are disqualifying:
(1) Astigmatism, all types over 3 diopters.
(2) Hyperopia over 8.00 diopters spherical equivalent.
(3) Myopia over 6.75 diopters spherical equivalent.
(4) Refractive error corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery.
Am I qualified? I know my normal contact diopters is -5.25, but I am not sure is astigmatism diopters and normal diopters are the same. This is what I have wanted to do my entire life and I really need to know this.
