I think there might be a faster way to do it but...
Is Orcs of Golarion material usable in PFS?
A sorcerer with the orc bloodline loses its light sensitivity at 9th level:
Fearless (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain a +4 bonus on saving throws made against fear and a +1 natural armor bonus. At 9th level, you lose your light sensitivity, gain immunity to fear, and your natural armor bonus increases to +2.
Of course that is supposed to be for losing the light sensitivity gained for taking the bloodline. However, using the eldritch heritage chain of feats a character can take advantage of that without ever getting the light sensitivity from the bloodline and so I think it would work.
Also, is this a racial trait that is part of an alternate trait available? Even racial traits can be retrained if the correct trainer is found.

I don't think it's exactly what you are looking for, but a Swordmaster's Blindfold would work. The downside it that it blinds you outside of your melee range.
So no one in Golarion has invented polarized sunglasses yet?
Sunglasses have been invented, but they don't protect against light blindness, just against gaze attacks.
I should also point out that there is a Protective Penumbra spell that could be made into a custom magic item.

Except that isn't valid in PFS. But I agree that in general, you would think with the existence of races with light sensitivity that someone would have created a non-magical or cheap magical item to remove the penalty from light sensitivity. It's small, but still worth negating.
These are PFS-legal, but I don't think they're what the OP is looking for. It's a bit vague, though.

Curious, but why isn't protective penumbra legal?
Penumbra, a zero level spell, is listed in the d20pfsrd from a blog and was left out of Ultimate Magic. It is specifically mentioned to not be legal for PFS play.
Protective Penumbra is a 2nd level spell found in Ultimate Magic. Are you sure that specific spell is not PFS allowed?
Edit Note: perhaps the not allowed bit was referring to custom magic item rather than the spell, if so, my apologies
Would a darkness (NOT deeper darkness!) wand work?
A fair amount of money but you are kept in...darkness (or, more accurately light would be reduced one step), not a big deal.

This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a 20-foot radius. This darkness causes the illumination level in the area to drop one step, from bright light to normal light, from normal light to dim light, or from dim light to darkness. This spell has no effect in an area that is already dark. Creatures with light vulnerability or sensitivity take no penalties in normal light. All creatures gain concealment (20% miss chance) in dim light. All creatures gain total concealment (50% miss chance) in darkness. Creatures with darkvision can see in an area of dim light or darkness without penalty. Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches and lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of darkness. Magical light sources only increase the light level in an area if they are of a higher spell level than darkness.
If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effect is blocked until the covering is removed.
This spell does not stack with itself. Darkness can be used to counter or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level.

The simplest solution, right?
Or, just have someone cast darkness on the character when in bright light...
Would a wand of protective penumbra be a custom device? I thought you just get to choose what spell you want in a wand?
You can get some cheap magic goggles to take care of the problem.

Those give a save bonus vs light attacks. They do not counteract light sensitivity which is what the OP is looking for.
Yeah, the not valid part is referring to custom magic items.
He could use a wand, which would kind of work. But it's a limited area, and he has to take rounds during combat to cast it, and he has to use UMD. Which depending on his class, may not be especially feasible.

Protective Penumbra is cast upon the creature touched, so personal use would work perfect. The duration of protective penumbra is 10 minutes per level, or 30 minutes from a wand with caster level 3 for a 2nd level spell. Some times might not be feasible but others may. Of course, the total number of times where bright light occurs simultaneously with encounters is probably limited.
Do we know what class the character is? The spell is on the cleric/oracle list, the sorcere/wizard list, and the witch list. Although depending upon class UMD may not be feasible, it may also not even be needed.*shrug*
