Of all BoB pilots, perhaps a handful wore the RAF Mark IV series of goggles which introduced the flip-up/down sun visor. It broke off easily and compounded by the goggles' cumbersome nature made them unpopular.

No pilots flew in sunglasses. Few even used their goggles which, incidentally, were mostly made with celluloid lenses which 'burned beautifully' in the words of G. Page.
