I had a lazy eye as a child; I wore a patch, and it either didn't help,

I am looking for some info and advice on rimless eyeglasses.  My
correction is -4.75 diopters, will the lenses appear too thick?  What
do you think would be my best options in terms of frame shape and type
of lenses for thin, lightweight eyeglasses.

Between work and home, I am a heavy computer user and reader.  I have been
for at least the last 6 years.  About 6 weeks ago, I would start to get
terrible eye strain and headaches towards the end of my work day.  Sometimes
I would just go sit in my car at lunch and close my eyes ...

I am looking for advice on the best lens material (single vision)for
the following prescription.  Due to the high cylinder power, is an
aspheric lens even an option or would I best be served by an atoric
lens design?

I had these results for a sight test for glasses:
-5,25 Left eye (and -0,50 astigmatism)
-4,75 Righe eye
