   I make something like this using borosilicate glass, only more as a creepy decoration. Using an oxy-propane bench burner, here are the steps I take:

   – gather white glass on the end of a clear rod
   – push the white ball into a colored frit
   – pull a point on a piece of dark color
   – jab the point into the iris
   – flame cut the dark color
   – heat the entire mass, flatten slightly
   – encase the front in more clear glass
   – heat the eyeball until it is molten and flame polished
   – anneal

   I scratch built the annealing oven that is used to cool the eyeball from 1200F to room temp, over about eight hours. I use a thermocouple with a decoder IC from SparkFun, connected to an analog input on an Arduino. My Arduino code reads the temp, drives a relay that drives a 220v contactor powering heating coils. The insulation is Kaowool ceramic insulation, with ITC100 and firebrick to hold the Kanthal wire.

   Here is a link to some photos of the end result on Etsy:
