Pro tip. Not just simply tinted visor/sunglasses, but ANTIGLARE built in as well. Sht helps ALOT. Just be aware that darkened areas while shine is gleaming can be dangerous because the eyes focal length is fixed on the amount of light that the eye captures at a given time. This is one of the reasons why we squint to look at things.
Transition visors or glasses are great for riding. Yes, dark visor is great in the sun but amount of detail you lose just in shade even on a sunny day is something people overlook. Especially when your eye adapts to a certain level of brightness, then you drive in a shaded street or a tunnel and you become blind for a moment.
So I’m in the lower half of the Southern Hemisphere and at this time of year the sun rises and sets very low on the horizon and the sun strike is wild. I use amber lense type sun glasses as it doesn’t make the vision darker but actually highlights objects while filtering out the bright flaring the low sun makes. They also make the transition from bright to dark shaded areas less extreme and my eyes adjust faster and easier. Well this is what works best for me anyways. Ride safe people
I usually just avoid riding at sunrise and sunset and if I have to I use my old pair of transition lens glasses I keep under my seat. Be safe out there and enjoy the rides.
You just need to stare at the sun for about 3 hours a day until your eyes can handle the brightness...

Bruh for real time of year when sun is right in the eyes. I have a tinted shield plus the internal drop down one 😎

If you don’t have anything tinted to help with sun even if it’s cloudy that’s a problem
