Wiley X makes Rx ANSI rated lenses for their frames, my Eye Doctor has them as an option through his clinic/shop. In terms of those clip in Rx Inserts I have used the ESS and Smith Optics ones, I like the ESS ones better than the Smith Optics, which did not clip in secure enough for my liking.

Get goggles or a glass kit like the M Frame and get RX inserts. They clip behind the main lens rather than replace the lens. This works better because the main lens retains its ballistic and impact properties, and if it becomes damaged it's a quick $10 to $20 replacement, vs having to get another prescription set made.

I already have goggles, with now-useless Rx insert for former presription. I'll need to revist that, and have new Rx inserts made for the goggles. Got it covered.
I'm looking for very stout eyeglass frames. Stand-alone eyeglass frames. |

I have a 'wide' face, so I need eyeglasses that fit my face. The "wider" the selection of frames, the better. Sorry about the pun. |

I found myself in need of simple prescription shooting glasses a few years ago and found SportRX
All you have to do is pick your frames, lens options (transitions, etc), and upload a photo of your prescription, then click order. Linked above are their impact rated frames, they have a ton of brands/styles to choose from |

What are you planning on using these frames for, everyday or at the range? Do you want frames to have corrective lenses put into of just as protective eyewear? Revision https://www.revisionmilitary.com/en/ has glasses that can be worn with inserts but not that take prescription lenses. If you want prescription lenses in a safety style frame look at Tactical RX. https://www.tacticalrx.com/ Sorry if links don't work but I tried.

I ordered some Oakley's with Rx lenses thru FramesDirect. Since the Army has an approved eyewear list, I bought a surplus set of Oakleys with the APEL # and swapped the lenses out.
My experience with RX inserts with the Revision Sawflys suck. Had inserts issued during Basic training back in '09 and they constantly fogged up. More of a hassle than worth it for my eye sight at the time. I'm sure if I had CatCrap or some other antifog material, they would have been better. |

Thanks to all for valuable advice and links. Since I already have a set of Criss frames that fit me, I think I'll go that route.
Much obliged to all! |

TacticalRX
heard good things. No personal experience. you can "buy" frames to try on and wear around the house. Once returned your deposit is returned. You pay all shipping. |

I've done WileyX and Oakley with inserts, and they work OK. They're great for (cheaper) every-other-year prescription changes -- but now you have two layers of optic between what's happening in the world and getting to your retinas. Criss GI "Birth Control Glasses" (no chick will do you while wearing those) were the functional issue item for decades before the military went to brown frames.  If you don't have much of a nose to support them, you need cable temples:
