My sunglasses from Zenni came out just perfect-- good frames, excellent optical quality (better than my daily wear glasses), and nice looking. I got a plastic frame (style #2227) with 80% green tint lenses in normal 1.57 index plastic. http://zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=1076 The lens tint is a nice match for the green frame material. My prescription is similarly strong to yours, but features a lot of astigmatism (-5.25 sphere, -4.25 cylinder in my weak eye). Those shades cost me $22 including a $9 surcharge for high-power lenses, but not including shipping. I liked the shades so much, I ordered a clear pair to use in the workshop. Those were only $17 without the tint! They used a really flat base curve, which looks great with dark tinted lenses. If I were you, I'd avoid polycarbonate lenses. Your 'script is strong, and PC has terrible optical qualities. If you're not committed to high-index lenses, CR-39 acrylic and normal crown glass are both vastly superior to polycarbonate.
