My correction is -7.00 and -7.50. I got the mid-index lenses from Zenni and they are not ridiculously thick at all. They're about 1 mm thicker than a similar pair that I have in high index.
If you order a frame with lenses narrower than 50mm you can minimize the coke bottle effect. And plastic frames also conceal some of the thickness of the lenses; although my frames are metal and they look fine. And a nearsightedness correction like yours and mine makes your eyes look smaller, not larger.
