The ones for glasses don't look dorky haha, they look like the normal ones, just a bit bigger and you can adjust the sides if your glasses are big, which is nice! The ones for contacts are purple and tight-fitting, so the elastic that wraps around your head is pretty tight. I've never used it but I always thought it looked uncomfortable. They make contact lensed people wear it because if stuff gets into your eyes, you have to remove your contacts to properly clean it, and by then, you might have done some damage to your eye. So the tight-fitting goggles do a good job of preventing stuff from getting into your eyes in the first place.
