One solution I use quite often, especially in head-on shots, is to ask the subject to raise the back of the temples (the part that goes over the ears) approximately 1/2 inch, thus tilting the lens down. It works so well one of the ladies running the "horror picture" booth at a local DMV office now uses it. Unless the subject has little or no hair, you don't notice the high temples, and it almost always eliminates glare and reflection.

Boy is that one good - lifting the temple thingies - my solution when using an external flash has always been to bounce with a soft flash filter in place. Now with my digital not having a flash shoe I can do this trick.

In the digital age, you take two images, one with the glasses off and one with the glasses on and put it together in Photoshop Elements 10. Or you have your subject tilt their glasses down slightly to redirect the angle of the light. Or you light the subject correctly in the first place. Remember, no direct flash.
