Erase the sharp edges with soft brush.

Decrease the brightness of the whole eye by brushing with gray color (opacity 10%) in new layer to get result like this.

Let’s create “sclera” (the white ball), for this…

Draw a circle with white color (using “Elliptical Marquee Tool (M)”) and add “Inner shadow”.
