Question Best hair cut to keep hair out of eyes

I am going crazy over here. I've tried keeping the hair on Thor's face long with a top know. I've tried shaving his nose. Currently, I have his whiskers long and a "visor" over his eyes.

It seems like no matter what I do, he ALWAYS has hair blocking his eyes, and often sticking IN them. The top knot was by far the worst for that. I was checking his eyes several times a day and pulling long hairs out of them, poor little guy.

I'm starting to feel like this is not a solvable problem. Maybe it's because he has silky hair and he's so small - his hair is super light, and unless it is also super long, it sticks straight out. Any hair I cut short along the nose immediately springs out to a 45 degree angle... and all the long hair droops down and covers what's left of his vision.

What is the secret to 20/20 yorkie vision??

I would prefer not to keep his nose shaved because you have to maintain that so frequently, and I don't like cutting near his eyes. Also, and here's what makes it super difficult - I like his whiskers to stick straight out horizontally, with no beard. It's just a cuter look for his face. When his whiskers/beard get long, he starts to look like a sad old man.
