Momentarily close your eyes.

Explanation
High beams must be dimmed within 500 feet of oncoming vehicles to prevent temporarily blinding the other driver. If the approaching driver does not lower their high beams, do not stare directly into the lights. Instead, glance back and forth between the right edge of the road and straight ahead to reduce glare and stay safely in your lane.
Use the right edge line or road markings as a visual guide. Also, keep your windshield clean, as a dirty windshield can worsen headlight glare and reduce visibility at night.
