Or just don't stare directly at a plane when they get any kind of runway related clearance. Even briefly looking at full lights doesn't "ruin your night vision" come on. Turn the screens up a tiny bit. All the "run silent run deep" stuff is silly enough at cruise but on takeoff are you really scanning with all your might looking for that unlit lost Piper Cub, or are you focused on V2+whatever, course and flap speeds like everyone else? Maybe we should eliminate all lights and issue everyone FLIR.
