The eyeball consits of two parts. The eyeball, iris and pupil are all one shere. The part where the iris is on the sphere is concave. Because normal irises are concave in the eye.

The other part is the cornea, which is a half sphere over the iris and the pubil. its only job is to refect a specualr.

The eye must have a specualr on it at all times, so I set up a omni light on it to do just that. And I told the omni light to only effect the eyeball and to only cast specular
