Have you tried hard contact lenses (RGPs)? My eyes are also terrible, in that diopter neighborhood with astigmatism to boot. I found soft contacts at that prescription very uncomfortable but RGPs were a game changer. After the initial adaptation period they’re very comfortable and give me great vision- could easily read the 20/20 line when I got my last pair fitted. Those with a set of cycling glasses to protect from wind/dust/mud have proven to be a great combination.
They were something like these, only roundish lenses with a thick black frame, 5 inch bows and an elastic strap. I should probably see if I can find them again. OH! They had a HUGE rubber nose pad/guard.
I remember a movie about hockey I think, and one of the characters had hideous thick black framed glasses and was known for hurting people (if memory serves). Yeah, that… I just remember feeling like they were far too demonic looking, and not especially comfortable. The parents got them for me because I kept breaking glasses. Apparently as a ‘cone of shame’ type thing. It worked.

My eyesight is as bad as yours, other than contact lenses the best solution I’ve found is prescription safety glasses. I look like a dork but at least I can see.
That was going to be my suggestion.
