First, you need to add "photons{collect off}" to all glass objects.  White
spots are signs that you have too few photons, so each photon is carrying
too much energy.  You may also need to adjust the spacing on a per-target
basis, depending on the relative locations of the light sources and targets.

Also, what is the purpose of using photons in this image?  This might be a
case where they're not worth the wait.
