Hi
Minification can't really happen with this number .
May be prismatic effect at edges.
You hv to opt for slightly bigger glasses.
Move your head wherever you want to see.

Please get your power rechecked. Your number isn't that high to cause significant minification of images. A rectangular and a narrow frame is better suited for minus number to avoid any prismatic effects.
A circular and larger ones are best suited for plus numbers.

Hi,
Minification of images is due to the increasing minus number of your glasses( the more the minus the number, the smaller the image.), not due to the type of eyeglasses you use.
As long as there is clarity in your vision, you need not worry about image minification.
