For newer versions of VS (2012 and higher) download eigen.natvis and simply add it to your C++ project (as described here)

As explained here there is an extension file in debug/msvc for that purpose.

As described in the linked wiki, I tried adding visualizer.dat into autoexp.dat for MSVC 2015 after the [Visualizer] section, but it didn't work. After restarting MSVC the Eigen matrices and vectors are as opaque as always. – Joe Oct 16 '15 at 18:05

@Joe: For VS2015, you need to use .natvis file, not autoexp.dat.
