I will throw in my $0.02
We have been making polycarbonite custom high curve lenses for athletes and shooters for over a decade. Back before the industry said it could be done our Owner, Bret, decided he needed to figure out the solution. Our formulas are proprietary and our machines are custom build by us, for us.
We make ANSI z87.1+ high velocity impact resistant lenses (not inserts) that fit directly into the best shooting frames on the market.
For example, our lenses for the Rudy Project Rydon Z87.1 frame replace the ImpactX factory non prescription lenses and are virtually indistinguishable from an off the shelf pair of sunglasses. The difference is we hand sculpt the lens and finish it to any style you like, and it's been independently certified ANSI z87.1+ in the Rx format. We can do heavy prescription in high curved frames as well WITHOUT using inserts.
A review from the industry magazine 20/20 in 2005 well after we had perfected the high curve lens technique.

and a review from the cycling industry where eye protection is also a must.

Bret and I are both shooters and recently returned from the SHOT show in Las Vegas. We were again looking at the best possible options for shooting glasses. Does your Optician go to the SHOT show every year to look at optical stuff? We do.
We can make ANYTHING that has been mentioned in this thread. We are a true custom shop and make our own lenses in-house. If you want in inverted bifocal with an adjusted reading Rx, we call that our "almost" lens and it's included in our shooting glasses. (check the pricing page)
We stock Rudy Project, WileyX, Smith Optics Elite Division, Numa Sport Optics, and 5.11 tactical among others.
We are running a web special right now on the MIL-PRF (ballistic rated) WileyX Romer II with our Rx ANSI z87.1+ lenses. Buy the Romer II as single vision prescription sunglasses, and get a free set of Rx interchangeable clear lenses. $274
