Some critique?

I usually stick to drawing anime eyes, but I wanted to try to draw a realistic eye.
I know that the eye lashes dont exactly look that good, but Im still trying to work on it, and improve.
Any tips or advice?

Yay! Another eye lover! XD
I've always had a thing about drawing eyes. Anyway, the eye looks a perfect shape, but it doesn't really matter if it's not anyway as all eyes have different shapes anyway. As long as they're quite oval, it doesn't matter XD
The eyelashes could perhaps be slightly longer and spread out more. I noticed that most eyelashes tend to have gaps between them rather than being clumped together.
Overall though, it's a very good and realistic drawing of an eye ^^

Hey, nice eye! Great shading 
Perhaps another thing that might improve it, would be to add a bit of thickness to the lids, and/or the skin around the eyes. Having a quick look at my eyes
there's kinda a ridge where the top lashes attach, where the eyelid goes from curvy to ... more inwards. For the bottom lashes, there's a bit of skin between the lashes and the actual eye (whereas the bottom lashes in your picture are actually on the eye).
Those extra details might help if you wanted it perfectly real looking... but your eye looks great as it is, really, especially if it was part of a larger drawing
