Please note in the Manual, At The Event, 3.3.3:

Regular glasses do not qualify as safety glasses. Goggles are not required over glasses only if the glasses are ANSI-approved with side shields.

Regular prescription glasses are not ANSI approved

You can, however, request your source of prescription glasses for safety lenses (essentially slightly thicker polycarbonate lenses) that you can use the corresponding side shields with.

this is what I wear at the event and if not that then I have removable side shields that go on my glasses arms for the just in case I forget the goggles scenario and to be honest no one from FIRST has EVER bothered me about my side shields... No one from the safety glasses desk and certainly no one from Safety Advisor Team and trust me they pink on us volunteers more then they do the teams b/c we're to lead BY EXAMPLE =)!
