Sorry, but there's no such thing as clip on safety glasses.
OTOH, there are a variety of over the glasses (OTG) safety glasses out there. Prices under $10 can easily be found - http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/fiovrxgl.html
BUT, the best recommendation is to get prescription safety glasses or to have your prescription dropped into a pair of safety glasses. For $140 you would end up with a pair of safety glasses with your prescription that you could use for shooting and all the other activities you might want to protect your eyes from impact.

If you need scrip glasses, look at Randolph XLW
You can get a scrip insert and therefore use their regular colored lenses.
Texas Shooters Optical, talk to Tom

Check with your employer, many factory/distribution places over an incentive benefit that pays all or some of the cost of prescription safety glasses. Mine offers 75% coverage up to $200 list cost, which means my last set cost me $35 out of pocket.
We get free safety over-the-glasses types at work. http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/29g66hs.html They are pretty good, but not all that scratch resistant. They will definitely keep a flying dagger of plate glass from skewering your eyeball though...ask me how I know!

The same site referenced above has this as well -
Safety glasses insert
This one fits the Uvex Genesis, a fairly low-cost type of safety glasses which have a variety of different colored lenses available. Yellow works well for me when shooting in bright overcast, dark grey for sunshine, clear otherwise.
The prescription lenses fit behind these replaceable lenses, and don't get scratched in use. (Provided they are stored in such a way as to keep them from getting scratched.)
The only problem I had was getting the lab to keep the correct "tilt" when grinding, so they didn't mess up the astigmatism correction. Sometimes you have to send the entire glasses, not just the insert, with instructions to help the lab.
But it was worth all the trouble. Now I have safety glasses which provide safety and corrected vision.
