Answer:

She should wear polarized sunglasses

Step-by-step explanation:

Polarized sunglasses reduces the flares from horizontal and reflective surfaces.

As light is reflected from flat surface like lake,the polarized sunglasses helps to block the intense reflection and enables one to see bright light.

He should wear polarizing sunglasses.

The glare is reflected light. Reflected light is always substantially polarized.
He can cut the glare almost completely, but in order to do that, he'll need to
rotate his glasses until the polarization of the lenses is perpendicular to the
polarization of the glare.

(I've never understood how you're supposed to do that.)
