Already tried healing brush and patch (on CS), but it just patterns wherever I’m sampling from, the result is fudgy and with the flaw being so bright I have to go over it a min of 6x times to make it look close and then it just looks fake.
Also the healing brush couldn’t even come close to helping the upper right corner of the glasses.
I edited my post above, with a link. I used the clone tool first to set the color, then used the healing brush. It was quick and dirty, but do-able.
it still is about pushing pixels

Good job btw.
I would mark the other eye and copy and paste it to the side with the flash problem, then flip the new area horizontally, free transform it to match to new eye location and adjust the color tones to match the brighter skin area around the lens (using levels or curves etc.)
note: the links you posted showed this message in both cases: "

How did you get the image to display and why don’t more people do this more often?

By using the img tag but, it’s not recommended on this site.
The recommended way would be to add a link to the image.
Why is it not recommended? Where does one put it to add a link to it so everyone can easily get to it? Is it not better to just have it right here where everyone can see it immediately, and respond if so desired, instead of everyone having to click and wait to go off too some other place then come back to respond etc.It seems that a lot of lesser forums do it that way!

many people visiting here still use a dial up modem and not broadband. if you provide a link, it’s up to the person whether or not to view a possibly large image. if you code it inline, you’ll tie up modem user’s lines. not cool.
not just that some are on dial up, but some folks actually pay per downloaded byte! "Forcing" them to view an image that they may or may not wish to views might really cost them money!

good point gh!
I teach Photoshop and this looks like just a matter of getting really good with the clone tool, if there are any suggestions out there to the contrary we would appreciate it, (everyone got so buzzed by the attachment they seem to have forgotten to answer your question)I would zoom in real close, use the pen tool to make a selection continuing the glasses frame, then fill with the same color as the rest of the frame, make sure when you do the artwork on the skin that you use a low opacity, soft brush, just work in close and take your time, (save as you go along of course)You could always airbrush on a dupe layer then play with blending modes and opacity on the dupe layer also. Sometimes its just a matter of time and patience.
one other wierd but effective method would be to rephotograph the person (minus the glare of course) and select out the eye portion of the image and replace the offending eye, (use a mask) this is in a situation where for example you shot this individual in a group setting or in an environment that cant be revisited or reshot but you still have access to the individual himself. Of course if the person is deceased or in another location this would not be feasable, but its just a thought, sometimes the obvious escapes us.

Nobody ever reads post #1 (sigh)
I encountered this problem several months ago, and the glare was so bad there wasn’t enough "good" area to clone from. I ended up duping and flipping the other eye (thanks P. Boone!) and positioning it over the washed out eye. It still took a lot of touch-up to blend it in, but the end result wasn’t too bad.

or #6 where the orig. poster came back with an excellent job well done.
I ended up duping and flipping the other eye
i’ve done that. 🙂
