No.
Visors able to block the tiny amount energy producing the glare when it is billions of times less powerful than the laser energy attempting to melt your face?
Yes |

Direct Sun light is what we are seeing, and it does not matter what type of sun glasses or shield (see NASA visor) can block direct sunlight. Sorry but if you look at the sun, any sun on any planet you will not be able to see and eventually burn your eyes out.
Glare is sun light or any light source reflecting off another object. Examples are snow, glass, cement etc. This can be blocked by adding a polarized lens, that acts like a venetian blind and blocks glare from hitting your eyes.
What happens on that one map is direct sunlight hitting you from one side. While it is kinda annoying, it is a really great effect in game.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but CCP actually did it correctly and nothing can block direct sun light.
DPGäó FTW
Nothing can block direct sunlight? So we shouldn't have any shadows at all because nothing can stop that sunlight from shining right through every single obect.
Of course you recognize that as absurd. Opaque objects are all around us.
So it is simple to posit a visor that can selectively opaque two spots on the visor such that it would prevent the direct light from shining into each eye. I'm pretty sure somone could cobble that together from current technology with something like an LCD visor, a light sensor, and a bit of electronics.

You can have the glare if you want, I'm just saying there is technology to eliminate it.
That's a good point about our view being projected on the inside of our helmet rather than being a direct view. Examine the assault suit to the left and you will see it's designed that way, making it trivial to process out the gare and dampen the direct representation of the sun.
Think about it for a moment and you realize it must work that way or the briefest flash of a laser rifle in your face would yeild permanent blindness. That would be even more effective than killing your opponent as he would still be around and ineffective rather than on his way to respawning, and you would only need a fraction of the energy required to melt through his armor. |

If the glare isn't automatically filtered out from our suit projections I want flash grenades.
It would be a great support weapon to be able to blind everyone within a certain radius who happens to be looking in its direction. |
