Can someone help me figure out what a progressive lens prescription
would be?

I'm trying to combine a prescription for computer glass with a
prescription for reading glasses.

Here are my prescriptions:

Computer prescription:
OD-SPH:       +2.25
OS-SPH:      +1.75

Reading prescription:
OD-SPH:       +2.75
OS-SPH:      +2.25

What would the prescription be for a progressive lens?

Thanks!

Thos are the add powers. You need the distance sphere and cylinder/axis (for
astigmatism) to get the entire progressive Rx.

Actually I may be wrong, they may not be the add powers, but I don't know if
that is enough compute the distance power (and certainly not the
cylinder/axis).

Not enough info.  You need your distance prescription to get a
progressive.
Call the prescriber and ask for the full prescription.
