Same here - bought them in a pinch and have a few pairs clear and tinted... Best 15.00 I spent

I roll with clear ballistic glasses from Wal-Mart. Had them for years, resistant to scratches, and ...cheap.

I have a clear visor on my full face and wear these under. You're good around the clock with the transitional lenses. And they solve that issue of not knowing where to sit them while not wearing them. No getting scratched in storage pouches etc. plus the guy making royalties off these is a good dude. Veteran owned, American company to boot....

They're clear and when they darken they don't get as dark as some sunglasses but I have a visor on my helmet (and sunscreen) so they work great for me.
I did this with prescription glasses in an HD frame, and bought a second set that IIRc were called "drivers" that went from dark to much darker.

I keep both sets in the tourpack.

i got caught without clears coming home late, and it started to pour rain. Never again.

Go to any construction safety store. They have a great selection of safety glasses. Around here we have Work n 'More and Whistle work wear.

Depends on what all you will be using them for and your budget.
I have two pair that I use for pistol shooting and also wear them riding.
One is the Oakley like others have said. I have the Flak jacket which is discontinued but can be found on eBay and Oakley still makes prescription lens for. Have 2 pair of them. They fit tight and will not fall or move if you move your head in any direction. I got them from my Optician.
The other is a Ranger with prescription lens and sold by Morgan Optical.
Both brands are Polycarbonate and have the scratch resistance coating.
There are definitely cheaper solutions but since I shoot weekly with them it was worth it.
