Cool Class 1 Visual Acuity

To any AME's out there:

An extract from:

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/49/SRG_MED...isual_Stds.pdf

"The difference in correction between each eye... must not be more than 2.00 dioptres."

Does anyone know if this includes the astigmatism?

Eg a prescription such as:

Right Sphere: -3.25 Left Sphere: -1.00
Right Cylinder: 0 Left Cylinder: - 0.75
Right Axis: 0 Left Axis: 160

Distance acuity Right: 6/4.5 Left: 6/4.5
Near acuity Right: n5 Left: n5

The corrected vision is -3.25 and -1.75 leaving a difference of 1.5, which should be within limits?
