Default Sharp eyes?

Can someone please help me out. I need to get those really sharp eyes in Photoshop. Everything I try comes out pixelated (if that is a word). I have seen really cool stuff come out of Lightroom, but I need to know the best way in PS. Please help me!!

theres a free PS action i use from this site called Eye Bright that does a cool sharpening/brightening effect to help give you that extra pop. key thing is though you want to make sure you have the eyes well lit and in good focus to begin with. if they arent in focus, sharpening can do just so much and you'll get pixelation much worse. good thing to remember when sharpening (eyes or whatever) is to find the line where its effective and when it stops looking natural. good luck! if you cant find the action PM me and i can send it to you

There's also this one that I've used before which I find works quite well. It's by a regular poster over on the Flickr Photoshop Support Group.
