History Main / OnewayVisor

Separate lenses [[NotAnExample don't count]], they go on OpaqueLenses. Compare SinisterShades, TheBlank, EyelessFace, TheFaceless. Contrast InSpaceEveryoneCanSeeYourFace.

* Warframes in VideoGame/{{Warframe}} run the gamut from completely inhuman, flat surfaces to more visor-like...sensors? A recurring enemy in-game references the player having "no eyes".

* All heroes in {{Toku}} series (''Franchise/PowerRangers'', ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', ''Franchise/KamenRider'', the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', and many more.) Interestingly, some heroes' visors or eyepieces look like they'd be very hard to see through '''because they are.''' Suit actors have more skill than you think.

* Virtual reality kits (Playstation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) are basically centered around this kind of visor. As of 2016, you need at least a Playstation 4 Pro or an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card to make them work.

** Othar Tryggvassen, ''GENTLEMANADVENTURER!'' wears a steal visor with a red lens.

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': The Jägermonster that gave Agatha a ride to the cave system that the Mechanicsburgers who weren't in town when the Baron attacked are living in after the time skip has a metal visor with a thin red strip that can presumably be seen through that appears to be [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131009 permanently attached to his face.]]

-->-- Rule #1, The EvilOverlordList

* ZigZagged in ''VideoGame/TheBreach''. The Security (staring) and Prototype (ending) suits appear to have this, but the cutscenes show us Sergei's expressions through it.

* Virtual reality kits (Playstation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) are basically centered around this kind of visor. As of 2016, you need at least a Playstation 4 Pro or an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card to make them work (except for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR, which turns your Samsung Galaxy S or Note into a VR kit).

* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} from ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'', in his case a needed guard against his PowerIncontinence.

* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'', In the comics, the upper part of Dredd's face is never seen. Normally it is hidden behind the fixed visor of his helmet, and on the one occasion that his helmet was removed, his face was hidden by bandages.

When used [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolically]], it can show that the character [[DarkAndTroubledPast has an aspect he wants to hide]] ([[RedRightHand sometimes physically]]) or [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} isn't all there to begin with]].

* Space Suits have these, though this is more of a practical need than to make astronauts look badass. (Of course, they do that, too.) They need to filter out direct sunlight since it's kinda bright.
