This is a lot of fun and you can do it using the Color Balance method or the Selective Color:

 COLOR BALANCE: 

  1. From the Toolbox, click on the Elliptical Marquee Tool. Feather: 5 pixels (this can change depending on the photo that you are using). 
  2. Draw a circle, making sure that you are getting inside the whole pupil. 
  3. Press Ctrl+B to get the Color Balance dialog box. 
  4. Click on the Midtones radio button and now play a little with the color sliders (Red, Green, Blue…) until you get the color of your preference. 
  5. Now, click on the Shadows radio button to bring more life to the eye. Click OK. 

SELECTIVE COLOR: 

  1. Select the pupil/s as you did before. 
  2. Go to Image, Adjustment, Selective Color
  3. Select Neutrals from the Color drop down. On Method, click on the Absolute radio button. 
  4. Now, you can change the amount of color moving the sliders for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, until you achieve the color of your preference. 
  5. Click OK.
  6.
