Based on some older relative's anecdotes, wearing good sunglasses in daylight (as listed above) and maybe even 'blue-block' or orange-amber shooting-type glasses worn as long as possible into dusk would help too.

Before a deck watch or night flight deep red goggles used to be worn for some time (maybe the 30 minute figure) in order to start dark adaption in normal light, and sunglasses were encouraged in daytime when night flying was planned.
