If you could post a link, like this:

that would be real helpful for us non-Stargate folks. I didn’t see any glowing eyes.
Got link?
Best movie for 2007 (so far):

What? no SFX?

Here’s how to do the tracking though:

I agree with Yikesmikes. That tutorial will get you set up.
And if you’re thinking “do I really have to track the footage?” sadly, even at a beginner level, the tracking is necessary.
But if you follow the steps in that tutorial to get your face first tracked, then put in a separate comp, then reverse-tracked so that you can work stationary elements into your footage as is demonstrated, the eyes are going to be easy.
Essentially, I would create a new adjustment layer, draw masks around the eyes, parent it back to your main layer, then experiment with the Effect > Stylize > Glow effect.
You could also add an Effect > Color Correction > Exposure. Or Curves, or any number of color correction effects.
Finally, I would also play around with the blending mode of the adjustment layer. Overlay, Soft Light, and Color Dodge may produce some interesting results.
Hope this helps.
