At about 45 I found It difficult to deal with paperwork etc working on night flights.
I went to my optician who said "That is perfectly normal for white Caucasians and not needing specs at that age might be cause for concern"

The huge numbers of modern SUVs with their higher mounted lights HID, LEDs certainly adds to the glare/dazzle not only through the windscreen but as often reported through the rear screen.
I do not recall complaints about early Range Rovers or similar.
