The eye is misshapen. It doesn't look like a "ball" in a socket, as much as an almond shape with an iris. There is no tear duct, nor upper and lower eyelids, rather just an opening with lashes applied. You also have no depth to the eye or the socket. It's all quite flat and looks somewhat like a cartoon eye, although the coloring of the iris is quite intense.
Here are some very good articles you may want to check out to help you achieve a more realistic effect:

Nice render, but it's too blurry. I think you over used the smudge tool.
I also think its kinda blurry,maybe you can fix it with the brun tool or a small size soft brush .
Howdie stranger!
