Let's start with a typical flat image.This technique works best for light-colored eyes.

first off go to the DODGE tool and choose MIDTONES, Let's set the exposure not too high, I choose 26 percent with this image.
Hover your dodge tool over the iris for a few times up and down and let the eye lighten up a bit.

If you go too far you can always go to EDIT ---> FADE and have a smoother transition to choose from, I tend to put a lot and then ease on down via a FADE after the application.
Now select the burn tool, choose midtones, and go over the black border of the iris for more contrast.I set the exposure not too high, choosing for a 21 percent value. :

After the burn tool is applied on the borders of the iris :
Now make use of the selection tools available and select the iris / eye color, after your selection is made, right click the mouse and choose 'feather' of roundabout 5 pixels for a smoother transition of the selection you just made.

Go to LAYER ---> LAYER VIA COPY in your navigation menu.Now your selection is a new layer and stands alone above the rest.

Get to the blending options menu and choose the blend mode SCREEN

If the result is overdone you can always change the opacity of the layer in the layer palette and adjust the transition with the layers below.
