Zoom out the windows and set the other window view to 100%. You have to arrange the window in a way in which you can see both the zoomed view and the 100% view. You then have to create a new layer. You can use the eye dropper to pick up the color from the iris. Paint over the red part of the eye. You then have to go to Filters>Blur>Gaussian and soften the edges by making it 1 pixel blur.
