Does anyone have any recommendations on a decent pair of prescription safety glasses for the range? Or where to buy them. Or what not to buy.

Oops. Edited. Didn't read the word prescription.
I've found that no prescription glasses work well for seeing the rear sight, the front sight, and the target. At least with my vision.
A pair of 1.25 magnifiers helps me to see the rear and front clearly. With the target just out of focus.
And for 20 bucks too.

The last time I went to my eye doctor, he made me a new pair of every day glasses and a pair of shooting glasses. He had done shooting (safety) glasses for a couple others, and he claimed he was into shooting.
This guy is in Pasadena but not knowing where you are, I don't know if that is going to help you.

R.I.P.
My job will provide Prescription Safety Glasses for anyone that requires them, that is what I use.
Same here, saves me $400 on glasses!

Just make sure when wearing them that they allow you to look through the correct focal point of the lense. I have heard this was a problem for some when rifle shooting, that the shooter is looking through the edge of the lense and getting a distorted view.
If I try to use my progressives, yes this happens. Get a single vision made for shooting and you should be OK.
There are plenty of recommendations in this link.

just beware that at least some marketed as "shooting" or "safety" glasses don't have much more if any protection vs regular sunglasses. look for ansi and mil ratings if you want real protection.

In some positions I end up looking through the top edge of the lens. Distortion is less of an issue than just Looking though lens at all. My next pair will be bigger.
That's why I have to wear contacts when shooting and also why I am looking in to LASEK. I've got an astigmatism on my eyes, worse in my right and it gets really bad in low light. Like I go from 20/20 with contacts in to maybe 20/40 once it is about 15 minutes past sun down. It makes using even ghost ring fiber sights pretty hard until last shooting light. I can use my left eye till last shooting light, but as a righty and right eye dominant, sort of a no go. With my glasses that correct for my astigmatism I can go till last shooting light, but it is really hard to get a good sight picture as the lens isn't aligned well with the glasses I have.
I can shoot with glasses but it is massively far from ideal.
