You can also tilt the T32 bulb upward & attach white cardboard or 
plastic material at an angle to bounce the light forward. This will 
provide  a larger light source for fuzzier shadows & move it upwards 
several centimeters to avoid red-eye.

Also, using TTL with a wide aperture will reduce the flash effect & 
therefore the red-eye effect. I do this ordinarily since it results in 
more natural, non-flash, looking fotos. It also results in longer 
battery life for the flash batteries & shorter recycling times.
