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:

Thanks Nator!
Beautiful close up!
good job
I like the way you made the skin texture ( too bad u didn't quite use it). My fist thought was that this is an actual photo ( maybe a bit manipulated) so i had to check the SBS.
This is photorealistic, d'apres moi.
