I'm highly nearsighted and considered "legally blind" without corrective lenses. I usually wear contact lenses and wear eye pro over them. However, I invested in a pair of prescription inserts that fit inside dedicated eye pro from Smith Optics. They are the Aegis Arc Compact model. I ordered them online from RX-safety.com using info from my prescription. They cost about the same as a new pair of glasses. They work really well, but I haven't tried running and jumping with them on her to see If they inserts stay put. But they fit well and are of high quality. They also came with a clear shield and a dark sunglass shield. Replacing the shields is very easy, and you can buy other color replacement shields, like the amber and rose colored ones If you want.
If your prescription is low enough, you should be able to get away with a pair of wraparound prescription safety eye pro from known makers like Smith Optics, Oakley, etc. The wraparound eye pro are ideal since the lens itself is a prescription and shield in itself. But they don't work for high prescriptions like mine because the curvature of a wraparound lens distorts the view to that of what some call a "fish bowl effect." The higher the prescription, the worse it gets. Otherwise, you'll have to go with the smaller prescription inserts if your prescription is too high for the wraparound ones.
You could also try the oversized eye pro that fit over regular glasses. Aside from the bulky nature of that combo, their fit is not ideal when you wear ear pro muffs over them. But they would probably be a less expensive option than dedicated prescription eye pro.
