Headsweats makes a great cycling cap: Cycle Cap | Retro Cycling Caps | White Cycling Cap - Headsweats

In warm weather, including rain, it's all I wear. You can adjust how low the brim is by adjusting the position of the cap on your head. I have no issues seeing around the brim even in my most aero position.

I always wear glasses on the bike. A droplet of rain (or worse, hail) in the eye at 30+ mph is not cool. I use my finger as a wiper to occasionally clear the lenses. I wear contacts FWIW.
