If he just wants goggles to protect himself against the flare, I'd say sure, 
no problem.  But...

And herein lies the problem.  Sounds like he wants something to protect 
against the Quirk _and_ still be able to use the Nightvision capability.  I 
wouldn't let him do both.  Stealth is pretty undervalued compared to most 
Skill-boosting packages anyway.  I'd say he can still have the Stealth and 
buy off the vision quirk, but he won't still get the Night Vision.

Remember the quirk only kicks in when you are _using_ Night Vision (or Dark 
Vision, as it refers to it a paragraph later). It's not like he has to be 
squinting constantly when he's walking around in broad daylight. As long as 
he isn't using Night/Dark Vision, he's fine.  But I wouldn't let him use 
Night Vision through light-reduction goggles.  All IMO, of course.
