What does this toric lens correct? Distance or close

During cataract surgery I had a toric lens put in my eye.  They gave me a card to explain what was inserted in my right eye.   This is what is says: DIOPTER+20.0D  SE 3.75D CYL    Does this correct for distance ?   Or does it correct for close?    Please let me know what has been corrected in my right eye.   I am nearsighted- so wanted correction of distance- but am not getting any correction for distance.
Thank you
