Are there any swimming goggles that can go right over your glasses?

I'm legally blind without my glasses, and I can't wear contacts because they produce alot of discomfort in my eyes. I want to be able to wear my glasses under swimming goggles that way I can see where I'm going!

1. Well usually the goggles that would go over your glasses won't work. However, you can get prescription swimming goggles too. To answer your question there are such things as goggles that go over your glasses.
2. The problem will be getting anything to seal over the side pieces of your glasses: I don't even think a mask would work. http://www.swimoutlet.com/Swim_Masks_s/323.htm But do consider corrective goggles. They're not even very expensive, often under $25. Your eyecare professional can tell you what "diopter" you need based on your prescription for your glasses. These are widely available online.
