Prescription safety glasses in basic training?

Can you wear prescription safety glasses in Army basic training? I see in videos that some guys are wearing safety glasses that look like they have prescription lenses in them.

If so;
Are they given out when you receive your BCG's?
Can you wear them instead of the BCG's?
Are the new glasses that replace the old BCGs now being issued at basic?

I'm not concerned about the way BCGs look, I just think the safety glasses are alot more practical during basic. They'd be better at protecting your eyes and keeping dirt/dust out, as well as stay in place better than the heavy plastic frames.
