I usually 'feather' the light at an angle to the subject, rather than direct light....that usually does it

Would a polarising filter work to remove the reflections?

just get them to tip the angle of the glasses down their nose a little and this often works.

No, a polariser will not help much, unless you are exactly at the correct angle (Brewster's Angle) which is not usually convenient for portraiture.

The way to get around it is to tilt the glasses forward slightly...ie lift the stems off the ears rather than slide them down the nose, and/or angle the lighting such that it minimises the reflection. You will never get rid of the reflection completely as glasses are usually curved, though we used to have glasses with no glass in for just such an eventuality!
