Other than picking a course that isn't into the sun, or choosing a better
time to fly, is there any cure for the sun in the eyes problem?

On a recent flight to Oakland, I had to make do with flying an hour with
my hand blocking the sun, or moving my head so the aircraft structure
blocked the sun. Once in the Oakland area, I had to fly the ILS on a
beautiful clear sunny evening - I couldn't see the airport until around
2 miles out. Everyone else (from the airlines to other light GA pilots)
were telling ATC they couldn't see $FOO due to the sun being in their
eyes.
