I can't think of any player off the top of my head, but I am sure some try to tilt the visor so it isn't in their line of sight.
Can the other team request this is looked at, along the lines of a stick measurement?

Currently there are no dispensations for teams to request an inspection but I'm pretty sure the referee has the ability to send a player off the ice until their visor issues are sorted to the official's satisfaction. It is kind of a grey area but it doesn't have the same potential for abuse leading to a competitive advantage like the rules regarding stick dimensions.
