Get an off camera flash. ;)

Easy...don't use a flash :-)
Seriously, what camera are you talking about (and flash), before I can properly answer the question.

External flash. Canon makes them as do others that can have a lower price. They attach to the top of the camera, if the camera has a hot shoe mount.

Unless you bounce the flash off a ceiling or wall - with risk of colour cast - a separate flash on the hot shoe will be no t much different from the built in one.

Your best bet is not use one, or if you do, just expect that you'll have to remove redeye in post processing...you can try the red-eye reduction setting on your camera, but those multiple flashes usually just piss off the people you're taking a photo of.
Next camera you purchase should have a hot shoe for an external flash, or a really bright lens (f2 or better), so you won't have to rely on a flash, unless needed.

Look in your manual or the cameras menu and see whether it has a function marked 'Red Eye reduction'. This feature was in the Canon Rebel 450D and presumable included in later cameras.

With on-camera flash, that can be difficult. Many cameras have red eye elimination as an editing option right in the camera. It can be a nuisance, but it will eliminate that. Of course, there's post processing, too.

Try this. Place a paper coffee filter in front of the flash. Let us know what you think. Another method is to have the subject look away from the camera.

Check you manual..Many times the unit is designed to flash once (no picture taken immediately) then again when the shutter is actually moving. The first firing is supposed to eliminate the tendency of the subject to look directly into the flash. The first firing causes the eyes to divert their attention away from the camera. P&S utilize this often. Hope this helps. GL.

This may sound funny but next time you shoot take a piece of toilet paper place it over the flash then put a rubber ban on to hold it in place, This will diffuse the flash for you.
