Eye Safety Systems. I use these extensively in the Military and they have been the most trouble free and reliable eye-protection I have ever used.
The Crossbow is treated with anti-fog agents on the lens. It will accept prescription inserts that snap fit onto the nose piece. Lenses change out in seconds and are highly resistant to scratching. The Suppressor has a flat frame design that sits closer to the side of your head which works perfectly in conjunction with protective ear muffs like Peltor and Howard Leight. The lenses are the same as the Crossbow.
Stay away from the Crosshair. Lenses are not treated and the fitment is a little different, they don't cover the face as well and I found it hard not to notice the sunlight creeping in from the sides and underneath the lens.

do they have prescription options? The thread is specifically about RX glasses, not just safety.

Thread is a little old but topic is still valid.

Lots of shooters that wear prescription lenses are faced with the question regularly.

I personally wish I'd had Lasik performed on my eyes when it was finally perfected. That would have given me an ocean full of options.

I did, for a long while use Contact Lenses for my shooting events (I was competing in Shotgun/Clay sports) which allowed me to use some high quality Zeiss shooting glasses.

Lots of advances in both Lasik and Contact Lenses so maybe those could be an option, especially for those like me that need a large prescription that can lead to lenses that get rather thick on the edges as they get larger in diameter.
