I use Wiley XL-1 glasses. http://www.wileyx.com/Tactical/ProductDetail/291_xl1-greyclear-matte-black-frame

A couple of years ago I blew up a Glock 21 while wearing a pair of plain RayBan glass-lensed sunglasses. Caught a bunch of high speed debris in my hand and lower face. Black eye, very fat nose and a lot of small facial cuts. Nothing to the eyes; dumb luck. I haven't fired a gun since without serious eyewear.

The Wiley XL rates very high on the ANSI scale, are pretty comfortable but they tend to fog. I can live with the fog but I don't want to live without eyes.

I have to ask how did the gun blow up?

Rudy Project glasses are awesome. Comfortable with interchangeable lenses and be had with prescription lenses.
 
These are excellent for the price IMO and come in a couple different lens colors

This is the pair I wear most often

Since I seem to be hard on glasses I prefer les expense ones so when I kill them it doesn't hurt as bad.

Hint, this is a link to the Crossfire site, find the part # there and search Amazon by part number Crossfire

Around $10-$12.
My last nice expensive pair died while I was tumbling down a Black Diamond trail at June Mountain one winter.
 
I like the Wiley-X Sabers with an RX insert...allows me to quickly swap my prescription to a different pair so that I can use different tints. Also lets me get my RX updated and keep the safety glasses part.
 
Up until yesterday I wore my polycarbonate progressive bifocals with transitions lens. Love the transition feature. Today I'm wearing my brand spanking new pair just like the old ones excepted for an updated prescription.

I have an over the glasses pair of safety glasses with tinted lenses that I put on over my prescription glasses when shooting.
