With F/1.8 you have a wafer thin DOF, so indeed it's hard to get both eyes in focus. Either rotate his head such that both eyes have the same distance to the sensor or use a smaller aperture.

The composition could use some work. His head gets very little vertical space. If you don't want to move further back, I'd crop off a bit more of his hair to give his chin some "breathing room" at the bottom.

The brightness is okay with me, but I do miss a small sparkle in his eyes. Having just a small highlight on his iris will bring his eyes out more, and fit in better with the brightness.
