Obvious one is ofcourse that the safety glasses shield the eyes from sparks and splashed hot material.

Another very important reason is that during the welding process ultraviolet rays are emitted and can and do cause harm to the retina and other parts of the eye.

In fact, one should not look directly at the welding process even from some distance without protecting the eyes.

Is it okay to wear prescription glasses when doing an experiment?

Prescription glasses generally do not provide sufficient eye protection, particularly on the sides.

It's also possible to buy prescription safety glasses, but they're fairly expensive. Again: Ordinary prescription glasses are not a substitute for safety glasses/goggles.

I was told that if I don't wear glasses to perform my job I will be fired is this legal?

If you refuse to wear safety glasses and it is company policy to wear safety glasses while doing the job you are doing, you can expect to receive some sort of discipline up to, and including, termination. If you are required to wear corrective lenses to drive and you refuse, you will probably lose that job if it involves driving.
