Oh god yes, especially now that all of them use led lights. Mine still uses an old-fashioned light, which is great when you’re alone on the road because your night vision can deal with the rest. But I turn completely blind when an oncoming bike shines one of those led-lights directly in my face.
I’ve already ran off the path twice so far because I couldn’t see where I was cycling (it was at a bicycle path through the park without street lights)

Yesterday, some idiot on a bike came right at me with a strobing light pointing at my eyes. Fuck you…

What I currently do is to take out my own headlight from its holder and deliberately point into their eyes. At least the message should be clear.
