Is it possible to fit regular sunglasses with prescription lenses at the optometrist?

Sometimes: There are difference between inexpensive "fashion" frames and "ophthalmic" frames designed for custom lenses. Visit your optician and see if your frame can be pattern matched for a prescription lens.

Yes: Optical shops commonly incorporate your prescriptive needs into the sunglass so that you do not have to wear something like a clip on sun protection.
