Landing into the sun

Was just outside the office having a ciggy and I watched a BAE146 on the finals into LCY. The plane was flying directly into the sun which was really bright and low.

How do you pilots cope with a landing heading directly into the early morning sun? One assumes that sunglasses are of help, but does the glare of the sun make things more problematic when it comes to judging the flare etc?

Just interested.
