Does the price rise markedly with high cylinder values? I can certainly see 1.74 lenses at £120 for reglaze with the spherical component you need.

Blimey. Isn't it about time you wired a pair of videocams straight into your nervous system?
Who said that?
Sure does. Most places only go to -2.00 cyl. Some will do -6.00. The labs who make them in -10 are in rocking horse s*it territory.
Even that place geoff suggested isn't cheap, or their internet trading arm isn't. They don't even list varifocals with cylinder, they do bi-focals and that's about it. A point to remember is that many labs only work to 5 degree steps on the cylinder, I can see a 1 degree difference and I am happy to pay extra for that precision.
Don't know if they do them, but if anyone suggests spex4less, don't bother. The email address I gave them has been leaked and I'm getting spam to it now.

You are, of course, going to get better service if you go there in person
When you buy glasses from an optician - this is one of the companies that actually makes the lenses
