Absolutely correct, but at both regionals I attended I saw many, many people (volunteers, mentors, even safety inspectors with "regular" prescription glasses and slip-on side shields that looked like they were cut from overhead transparency film (meaning 0.002" thick). What burns me is that I went and spent over $300 on real prescription safety glasses... but, come to think of it - these are MY eyes, and they're well worth it.
