Roadcraft / How do you deal with driving at night?

Particularly out in the country with no street lamps.
Thankfully I've mostly been able to avoid it, but occasionally I have to.
If it's late enough or remote enough that there's practically no traffic, it's fine. But every time there's oncoming traffic, I'm mostly blinded. I deal it with by slowing way down until I can see again, but it's just constant and extremely stressful. Meanwhile, it seems like the other vehicles drive as fast as ever, and I can tell that I'm holding them up.
Part of the problem I think is the hills out here, causing the headlights to be pointed at your face sometimes. A huge problem is the epidemic of poorly designed retrofit bulbs scattering light randomly.
How do you deal with this? Is there just something wrong with my eyes?
