Particularly tricky with close ups. I've found that the nice edge of something reflected in the eyeball can attract your own eye when focussing, but, its the wrong thing to focus on. Reflections are on a different focal plane to the eye itself. Its a trap. Focus on the eye, not on the reflection of something in the eye. Rick.
