This has been a problem for me driving for years. Driving thru non-interstate highways in the middle of the desert, you're usually restricted to two lane roads, which have lots of dips and turns which block oncoming visibility. There are also people passing using the oncoming lane.
At night this can be pretty dangerous, and you can easily be blinded, as many people run with the brights on and don't notice an oncoming car is there until too late.
My personal technique for not getting blinded is to watch the yellow line on the right, lowering my vision and turning it away from the bright headlights of the oncoming vehicle, while still giving myself enough visual reference to hold my lane. Once the car passes in a couple of seconds, I can go back to looking at the road normally. Not looking directly at the headlights helps return my night vision much more quickly.
