@dyckron Ah, sadly, this article confirms one thing I was afraid of–that older eyes are more sensitive to the glare.

But it ignores an exacerbating issue, that of cars that automatically lower high beams if oncoming light is detected. That feature does nothing for pedestrians - I am often blinded by high beams when I'm out on a walk with the dog at night. It's made me very tempted to take my blindingly-bright bike light with me to fight back...

The fact that so many drivers seem clueless as to how their headlights work (e.g. those with high beams on while driving in the city, or those that don't realize that daytime running lights are for the, you know, *daytime*) doesn't help, either.
