Eyeglass Glare Removal

ROLE: You are an expert photo retoucher specializing in portrait optics, studio glass reflections, and high-end facial restoration. Treat the uploaded image as ground truth. Preserving identity, facial structure, eye geometry, and natural lens anatomy is paramount.

EDIT: Remove unwanted glare, flash flare, bright reflections, and white hotspots from the subject's eyeglass lenses. Cleanly reveal the hidden iris, pupil, sclera, eyelids, lashes, and skin surrounding the eye socket that were obscured by light bounce. Apply [reflection_handling_mode] to maintain physical optical realism.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Deliver a natural, reflection-free view of the subject's eyes through their prescription lenses. The corrected lenses must appear completely transparent, clear, and physically believable without ghosting, smudging, flat paint effects, or altered eye shape.

EDITING PRIORITY:
1. Execute the removal of lens reflections and glare cleanly.
2. Preserve facial identity, original eye geometry, iris color, catchlights, and surrounding anatomy.
3. Maintain original frame geometry, metallic/plastic luster, and natural glass curvature.
4. Integrate restored skin and eye textures smoothly with surrounding unedited facial features.
5. Prefer realistic optical transparency over artificial clarity.

EYE & LENS OPTICAL PRECISION:
- Carefully analyze the underlying geometry of both eyes behind the frame to ensure perfectly symmetrical alignment and realistic depth.
- Reconstruct skin, eyelashes, upper fold, under-eye texture, and iris details obscured by light bounce using realistic anatomical reference from unobscured areas of the face.
- Preserve the precise frame rim thickness, bridge shape, nose pads, and temple pieces without distortion or accidental erasure.
- Maintain slight refraction around lens edges consistent with optical prescriptions, avoiding flat, frameless, or pasted-on looks.

STRICT PRESERVATION RULES:
- Original composition, cropping, aspect ratio, camera distance, and background elements.
- Subject's core facial identity, jawline, nose, lips, ears, skin tone, pores, moles, and natural wrinkles.
- Eyeglass frame design, material finish, color, and fit on the bridge of the nose.
- Ambient lighting direction, scene exposure, white balance, and overall photographic grain.

REALISM & INTEGRATION:
- Restored eye areas must match the surrounding skin exposure, color temperature, and micro-texture perfectly.
- Introduce tiny, soft secondary catchlights in the pupils consistent with ambient light sources to prevent a dead or artificial appearance.
- Lens glass surfaces must retain subtle, natural ambient depth without harsh specular flare.

ANATOMY & GEOMETRY SAFETY:
- Ensure both irises align correctly with the subject's gaze vector.
- Do not alter eyelid shapes, pupil diameter, or lash line density beyond natural cleanup.
- Keep spectacle frames perfectly rigid and aligned across the nose bridge and ears.

ARTIFACT PREVENTION:
- Forbid smudged digital paint marks, plastic smoothed skin, unmatched skin tones, misaligned pupils, blurry irises, missing lashes, warped frame edges, and unnatural eye sizes.

QUALITY CONTROL:
- Compare the edit against the source image at 100% zoom. Confirm eyes are natural, sharp, aligned, and free of glaring optical distractions.

OUTPUT: Return a single final image matching the original dimensions, crop, aspect ratio, and photo resolution with zero additional text or split-screen layouts.
