What is the fix for sunvisors that are falling into my line of vision?

I have not pulled them out of the car yet as I not long bought it.

The screws holding them up may be loose or stripped out of the holes.

There are three possible causes for the sunvisors faling down. Yes, the screw can loosen. If that is the case, tightening the screw will solve the problem. The screw tightens a plastic sleeve onto the pin that it rotates on. If that sleeve is broken or missing, then tightening the screw will have no effect. Replace the sleeve. I've attached a link:
Sun visor sleeve.

The third possibility is that the pin itself is loose in the cast base piece that screws to the a-pillar. To check for this undo the screw and slide off the sunvisor. See if the pin you've exposed is fixed in place (good) or rotates n the base (bad). If it rotates you have two options. You can epoxy it in place or replace the entire base. The base for a t-top or factory convertible is not the same as used on a hardtop car.
