How do you avoid headlamp glare at night? Remember, Insurance premium is adjusted irrespective of who is at fault in an accident.

Take the following steps;

Firstly, you can try not looking directly at the beam. Look more towards the darker part of the road. This 'could' make things slightly better. focus on the edge of the road and maintain a safe distance from the footpath or shoulder
Secondly, its insensitive for anyone to drive with their high beam when there is opposite traffic approaching. It is your right to demand for low beam. This is done by flashing your headlight. One flash, followed by continuous untill they get the message to switch to low beam. 
Thirdly, you should counter the problem by doing what they do to you. This is not ethical, but in a world where you are the only one following rules, it does make sense for you to go a bit beyond rules. If you are a frequent highway traveler, get  your lamps upgraded. Having these lamps, once you switch to high beam, the opposite driver will immediately do the opposite, as these lamps are really powerful. They cause enough glare to even make truck drivers dip their beams. But stick to low beam as possible. They are adequate.
Fourth, if you are really serious about the issue, you can invest in front windshield film.
