While my myopia is not as severe as yours it was close when I was younger. (I currently am at -8.5 with -1.5 cyl and -9.75 with .87 cyl so I am not that far removed. I also wear multifocals) They only advice I can give is to stay away from polycarbonate lenses if you want good optics. In fact, I would go with CR39 if possible since, even though it will be thick it will give you the best optics. Get anti reflective coating and edge polish if possible. Online glasses are inexpensive enough that I would suggest ordering a cheap pair to see how they are. (Zenni does mid index 1.56 that seem to have a decent Abbe value).
I have been very pleased with all the glasses I have gotten online and I have had less problems with them than the (expensive) ones I got from the local opticain.
