You can use this paper also to locate the position of the eyes. Bolme, D.S. "Average of Synthetic Exact Filters", IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2009. CVPR 2009. PDF, Source code
Another approach is to use a facial landmark detector. It will return you the four corner points of the eyes, corner of mouth, center of nose, and center of face. It does however require you to give it a bounding box of the face. You can use the four corner points of the eyes to reduce the region of interesting in order to find de pupils. project page PDF
