Safety glasses are usually made of polycarbonate.  Cheap plastic 
glasses will be made of different plastic that is also probably 
thinner.  Besides the obvious absence of side shields, the reading 
glasses would not pass the tests to qualify as safety glasses.  Of 
course, they are better than nothing.  I guess it depends what you 
are trying to protect against.  For light stuff, I'm sure they will 
do the job.  For serious projectiles like a shattered grinding wheel, 
not so much.  I have prescription glasses that are made of 
polycarbonate.  I think they are closer to qualifying as safety 
glasses, minus side shields.
