yes you are eligible for IAF because it -3.5d is permitted more than you have.

Re: How to join Indian Army after passing BCA? I have defective eyesight (-1.25).

There is no problem for Shortsightedness till it is under the permitted limits specified by the defence academies.
There are 4 academies recruiting through CDS-
IMA,OTA(Both Army), AFA( Air Force), INA(Navy).

As you are a BCA you will be eligible for IMA,OTA as these requires graduation from any stream. You may also be eligible for AFA as being a BCA you might had Physics and Maths at 12th which is a compulsory requirement for Air Force Academy.
However Air Force does not allow Myopic candidates so you will be disqualified.
But for IMA and OTA,the maximum permitted power for Myopia is -3.5D which is more than what you have.So you have a good chance of getting selected but you have to excel in the SSB and also in the physical tests so that your spectacle problem gets covered by your other good traits.
