The best current choices would be Trivex, high abbe value 1.60 index and for height prescriptions 1.67 index. Glass had pretty much vanished well before I retired.

With all that said, nothing matches the ABBE value and optical stability of glass. However, if you are interested, PM me your prescription and contact info, I’ll do a search for you and match it up with a local optical shop.

Do you know if OSHA approved safety glasses are still made of glass? I remember them having special impact requirements.
