If you can get a cheap motorcycle visor you could just cut that up. Otherwise, some clear acrylic and some window tint might work.

You mean these?

You could even use lenses from safety googles like the one I posted in the bottom. If you want you could always make the horizontal like very lightly so it wouldn't break the plastic, but IMO such glasses fit perfectly.

Not sure where in Europe you are or what resources you have, but here in our hobby shops there is a product called clear polystyrene, clear plastic and you can bend it and shape it how you want and then tint it.

From watching the documentaries on the FUD Blu-Ray, that's basically what was used for the screen-used props. Except they were of a one-piece lens design (to prevent warping), and fully transparent.

Sort of like these -

Yeah, just basically any of these. It's just what you'll find and you'll think looks best.
