Does anyone ride with prescription sports glasses or goggles? If so, what kind do you use?

I'm not sure whether any specific equestrian ones exist. I know that you can get prescription ski goggles, but these seem a lot chunkier than normal racing goggles. Do you think that cricket glasses would work?

I find that normal glasses don't give me a large enough field of vision, and I worry about breaking them/stabbing my face when I inevitably slam my face on my horse's neck.

Thanks
 
My regular frames are Flexons, which are very resilient to an outdoorsy horsey lifestyle. My previous pair lasted for 7 years. I have recently invested in a prescription pair of wrap around Oakley frames with varifocal polarised lenses. They were not cheap o_O, but I find glare difficult to deal with so they are worth it for me. Oakley are not riding specific sunglasses, but many pro cyclists and other athletes wear them.
 
I know there was a thread a while ago on twittereventing about glasses/googles options that would be worth a search if you are on the fb group.

Cycling ones you can get pretty cheap ones iwith rx inserts but they are probably not ideal for field of vision compared to the full wraparound lenses and depends on whether your head is the right size (I need an xs/s and it's impossible for that)
