Hello
Vision is the ability to see and it is measured by vision charts and normal vision is 6/6.
A refractive error of -2.5 indicates myopia and you can read 6/6 once you wear the correction.
Hence you are having a refractive error of -2.5 and by correction of this you can have normal vision.

Thank you
