Moving the eyeglasses lens flare

Hello, Adobe!
I am Your customer and I would like to provide You with an idea to enhance Photoshop capabilities.
I was trying to remove the lens flare - meaning the reflections of light - from my mother's picture where she has eyeglasses on, but it proved to be quite impossible. So actually I don't know whether there is an algorithm/method to do that but I don't know it. And if there is no one, then I suggest that You should consider adding some kind of a smart removal method for those, which specifically would maybe - by choice - also be a valuable feature for Photoshop, since people are editing mostly for faces (as far as I know) and shinings from glasses must pretty obviously be one of the most disturbing properties in pictures.
Well, that was my idea, for now. I'm quite sure it's a very "required for".

As far as I know there is nothing built into photoshop to remove glare as you suggest, and it would be a good idea to be added if possible. A trick I once read for taking photos of people with glasses, which I tried and it was quite succesful was to take one photo with glasses on, then ask the subject, without moving more than necessary to remove their glasses and take another photo. In photoshop place the one with glasses on a layer above layer without, add a layer mask and paint out the lens to reveal the eyes.
