That's also what I do(if I take the trouble, lately I'm a bit lazy with pp). I use C1pro and I've made a preset(bit exposure, shadow lifting, clarity, structure). Using the brush I paint or adjust the size and just click on the eye, choose the preset and with opacity slider adjust to taste, quick& easy.

Those look good, natural is best!
Below maybe not the best example because also in sunlight but I just lightened the eye a bit so the iris is visible(before/after).

Thank you, that looks great how you have lightened the eye.

For sheep and goats, the secret is to have them lift their heads to catch the reflection of the sky.

Here's my pet, Dopey, looking down and looking up.
