Gary - I think you are IMHO very-very close to the ultimate eyeball. I note the following small imperfection: If a sphere sits on a tube you would not see any of the sphere extending below the top of the tube.

Now for some ideas for your consideration: What about the idea of having a reflection in the pupil. As a shiny black thingie it would be very reflective. Another idea would be to patent a lamp design that looks like your big eye-bulb.
