Lots of good info above. I'll throw in a few others. My "range" glasses have a close focus lens on my left eye (I'm left eye dominate, right handed), and a distance lens on my right (for seeing distance and shooting rifles). This works great for me. Some also use bi-focals with the close focus lens on the top instead of bottom. So this is not realistic for self defense shooting.
My normal Rx glasses are for distance. I can use them fine with optics on rifles (an pistols I suppose) but they are my worst option for iron sight handguns. So since my vision is not that bad for distance my goal is to be sans glasses in a defensive situation. Because of this I practice with my range glasses, with my normal Rx glasses and without...just clear safety glasses (and log the time in my shooting journal).
And then for shotgun (right handed) I have a small blurry patch for the left lens that covers just the bead so I can keep both eyes open.
Admittedly complicated...but it works for me.
