I have similar problem, and need very similar strength glasses... I wasn't brave enough to go the online route, and went to Boots when they had special offers. Expensive thing are those glasses for when you need them really strong!!!!!Spring into Spring 2015 - 0.7/12lb0

Watch out for supposedly cheap prices but then at the end they add a huge amount for anything but the worst thickest scratchable uncoated lens. Glasses direct seem to be guilty of this trick.
I imagine for -8.5 the ultra thinnest lens is required.0
