Comments.Text: Ditto.  Could you post a pic?  Perhaps you're being too critical.  Usually, these sort of reflections are desirable.  Are you familiar with the expression, "the apple of someone's eye"?

  I solved my problem using 1) motion tracking and 2) a good picture of an eye.
  
  1. With adobe after effects i managed to track the motion of the problematic iris. The result was a very precise motion path of the iris for the whole video. Great.
  2. Then i used a good picture of brown eyes (google images) from which i cropped a circular selection which had "some" iris and the pupil. I made that circular selection a little transparent around the edges and finally had this result:
  
  ![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/kogz1.png)
  
  3. Using that image (2) on the motion path (1), the result was excellent. I had to play a bit with the colors to make the new iris blend with the original iris which "embraced" the new one.
  
  (Fortunately, person wasn't blinking.)
