There is a long useful thread in here somewhere.
Please use Advanced Search and search for posts by me "LenS" that have the work "prescription" or "glasses" in it and you should find it. [Search will only work on 4 or more characters.]
I bought ESS glasses and they are very good. Had my local optician (who no longer is in business) cut the proper lenses for shooting. You buy the ESS glasses (I think Gunnersalley.com offered an excellent price and delivery) with the proper "Rx inserts", then take them to your optician to get the lenses made custom to your needs. I brought a Blue Gun (plastic) with me, although both the previous and current optician would have been cool if I drew out my 1911, I would NOT have been as there were people walking behind the 2x4 wall.
Feel free to post the URL to the thread you find here in a reply so others can also benefit. Thanks.

I use a pair of Oakley A-wires sunglasses with Rx lens in them, they work quite well. Good wrap around protection and they are not huge, obvious shooting glasses
for indoors I have a pair of Wiley-X with Rx inserts that fit behing the main lens.. the only problem with them is that you have 2 sets of lens to keep clean.

You can get Wiley -X in a percription format. I have 2 they are excellent.
until something goes wrong...
You really want something that complies with ANSI Z87.1
General polycarbonate lenses are made to be light and comfortable, not protective. And side shields are important to protect from flying brass coming from the person shooting to your left.
A couple of weeks ago I was at the range and forgot to put on my glasses untill half way through the range session. Nothing happened, but I wish someone said "hey knuckle head! where's your glasses?".

I got the pair that I'm wearing now from Lenscrafters. They are about 15 or so years old. So they are big and ugly. I just haven't gone to get new ones, which I need to do as they are more than several scripts behind.
It seems that their new ones are more stylish. LOL!
