Confess this is one of the reasons i drive a higher vehicle when not at work, the difference in sitting that two or three feet higher is amazing.
Couple of tips to add to the above posts.
Keep your windows spotlessly clean inside and out at all times, less glare when it can't land on dirt on your windows and cause that to show up, and good for stopping winter sun glare.
Wash your windscreen with something different to normal wash and wax after you wash the car itself to get wax and road grease off, and don't forget to keep the blades themselves clean either, a useful way of prolonging wiper blade life and preventing judder is to lift them up and flip them the other way now and again when they are 'parked', helps keep them flexible and they don't develop that one sided lean that means judder.
Keep an old spray bottle of clean water and a rubber blade squeegee handy during the winter when you are out and about, there is nothing worse than trying to wipe salt residue off the windows, all you do is smear it further, but a few sprays of clean water and couple of passes with the rubber blade and it clear again.
I have been known to keep a full squeezy bottle of water in the door pocket during really bad weather, whilst at the lights a quick blast of clean water over the screen saves using your washer bottle of proper mix up too quickly.
If your screen is badly scratched due to thousands of wiper passes and small stone chips, get it changed, shop around local one man and his dog windscreen fitters, you'll be amazed how much you can get a new screen supplied and fitted for so long as you avoid the usual heavy advertisers...its doesn't pay to claim f you can help it, even for glass, despite them telling you it won't affect your NCD, it can affect your premiums.
The light wars i'm afraid are here and only going to get worse as millions more people arrive and millions more cars go on the road, plus hundreds of thousands of houses more plus amenities shopping centres etc means more light still, all you can do is try to mitigate the problems for yourself.
LED clever lights?, can't imagine i'll ever be buying a car fitted with any of that guff.
