White Eye in pictures taken with iPhone 4's flash

Has anyone else had this problem? iPhoto will not let me correct this as it does red eye. Does anyone know the best way to remove the white eye?

iPhone 4, iOS 4

Yes, this is a serious problem. I suspect the pupils reflect white light because the flash is LED, rather than the typical incandescent flashes (which reflect red off the pupils). A lot of programs have built-in redeye removal tools, but "white-eye removal"? Haven't heard of it.

Maybe the photoshop iphone app will add it?

Or perhaps Apple can add it to a future release of the Camera or Photos apps that are built in to the phone.

Someone please create an app that fixes white eye in pictures of people and animals. I will buy it immediatly. I know video will be a tricky fix but I'd pay 3x as much fot that app if it works.

This problem severly reduces the functionality of the flash in dark lighting. I rarely take pictures of things 3 ft away in the dark that don't have eyes.
