You didn't say if you need correction or just safety/sun glasses.

You didn't say cheap.  I only have one set of eyes. I don't mind spending big money on them.
I also have a pair of these...
You can pick them up for under $50 They come with multiple lenses and best of all you can change out the ear pieces to use the included strap. The strap is MUCH more comfortable under hearing protection.

I recently bought Radians Eclipse RXT Shooting Glasses. They are almost clear indoors and darken when outdoors. Love'em so far

You get a lot of bang for your buck with the Wiley's.

I've been happy with Oakleys. I think the model was Strike, but mine have replaceable lenses so I can go clear indoors or tinted outside. Not cheap but very versatile.

That's the thing "not cheap" I got these Juliet's as a hand me down... Heck if I think their worth 400 brand new lol. Pallets are goo brand though just pricey. If anyone has these Wiley's please let me know your thoughts.

How long is your typical range session? It actually makes a difference. For me, I can be at a USPSA match for 6+ hours in changing light conditions. After 2 hours or so, ANY glasses with stems (except for the Rudy's. They are ULTRA thin) start to give me a headache. My ear pro presses them into a nerve or something behind my ear.

On the cheap end I recommend N-Spec Venom's but if your really concerned about eye protection then get something like these

or something Mil-spec which can take a ballistic impact

Check out your local golf pro shop for a pair of Maxx sunglasses. Every place I've bought them, they are about $20. Even sold at the pro shop at Gunsite academy. They are shatterproof and fit well.
First found them on a golf trip to Myrtle Beach.

Only "shooting" glasses I've ever bought,
http://www.sportglasses.com/content/Shotguns.htm
they even do perscription lenses (which I need). While they put an emphasis on shotgun use, they work well for everything for me.
