I'm in the lucky position that my favourite midlaners all have a way to handle Veigar. For example Viktor can punish Veigar simply by ulting, while Xerath simply outranges him.

If you however aren't in posession of damage evation or strong burst, and don't go tanky, your main way of dealing with Veigar is by staying out of his range till he fired his powder, or alternatively, count on Zhonyas to evade his ultimate (most likely in combination with cleanse).

Generally, Veigar's two weak points are: 1. He has no inherent mobility - no dash, no movement speed boost - in his kit. His only way of picking for champions is by his E, which is on a long cooldown. As such, you are able to pick the fights, you can wait till he wastes his E, or till a tank is in his face

2. No matter how fed Veigar gets, a single ability will never be enough to kill an enemy. He'll always need at least two abilities, if he has to migitate MR he might even need ult. So keep in mind, if he flashes for you, he'll use Q first which you can counter-flash. If he duells you without E, he only has his Q to hit you (equal to an Ezreal Q).
