The visor things are just grown-up sunglasses.

The vision enhancement technology (NVG) actually might help if the laser is from the right direction, but that is purely coincidental since you are looking at a screen rather than the real world.

I will tell you right now that in many years of military flying I never saw anything that would work against a variety of lasers without degrading vision to a huge extent.
