As Jimmy says, its the 2.5 in your right eye thats the problem, since the limits for astigmatism are 2.0.
However, do not just assume that you can gain a Class 1 through the help of laser eye surgery. In the CAAs own words:
"In fact the certification limits of eye correction with glasses and the limits of refraction before surgery are the same, so it is not possible to gain a medical certificate by having refractive surgery, that you would not have obtained by wearing glasses."
Any laser surgery should be done with consultation with the CAA and an eye specialist who knows the situation for pilots.
