Does anyone know of a reputable company that offers Prescription Safety Classes?
Oakley, and they even have a GSA discount. Stonewall has more info.
I got mine from Oakley and used the CAP discount!

I am flying with Uvex Horizon welding glasses (http://www.uvex.us/products.aspx#/product=598&folder=98) with clear prescription lenses in the frame and sunglass lenses in the flip-up. I also have a second flip-up with clear lenses taped so I have flip-up foggles for instrument practice. It's a great system. (I bought for the flip-up feature, not the safety aspect, but it is one tough set of frames.)
Frames bought from http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com.
Lenses are from http://www.jemoptical.com
Jem is having a 20% off sale until the end of the month; I just got an email from them: "Save 20% on all orders placed until midnight Monday August 31st. Use coupon code CEL08512" I have bought lenses for several frames from them and the prices and service have always been great. Half or less what I would pay locally.
Take the advice of myself and others and go Oakley(.com) browse around their website a bit to find what you want.

Better styles, and cheaper prices than traditional Oakley stuff
do a search there are several threads about how to get into this site
I have membership to the Oakley Government site, i was just wondering if anyone knew of a better / different place.
I saw a member of Des Moines Fire Department have a set of glasses that are prescription lenses inside of traditional safety glasses. He indicated that I call the DMFD training officer to get the details.
Thanks All!!
Remember that Oakley does do prescription glasses
AO Safety in Oklahoma
Got mine thru work before layoff
Although not stylish, their catalog MAY have something
Almost any optical shop will order them for you, including your local Wal-mart...
ESS ICE and ICE NARO glasses
I got mine for $20 at the PX/BX. Prescription inserts can be purchased online. They have the same quality, toughness, and impact resistance as oakleys, but were mass produced for a contract with the Marine Corps, and thus are very cheap.
