Do I need high index for my prescription?

I have a sphere of -3.75 for DV and RE and a sphere of -4.00 of DV and LE. The doctor has put lines across cylinder and axis and both the VA are 6/6.

The IPD has 68 MM and at the end the doctor has written: pl do vertex correction for C2.

I have noticed that the edges of my glasses look really thick and my eyes look small and beady when I wear them. My lens also look curved and my face kinda looks distorted because you can the see the sides of my head through the frames.
