Both taken in trance/meditative states. Some people see something there, some don't. Interesting, anyway.

i generally dont find carlos castaneda useful but there was a time i perused most of his work. He had some small emphasis on the eyes at one point in book 8 The Power of Silence. I'll put it here just in case it sparks any interest or resonance. To understand some of the terminology you would have to read the books. At times the words used can appear quiet sts but "ruthlessness is not cruelty. Ruthlessness is the opposite of self-pity or self-importance. Ruthlessness is sobriety".

"The place of no pity is the site of ruthlessness," he said. "But you know all this. For the time
being, though, until you recollect, let's say that ruthlessness, being a specific position of the
assemblage point, is shown in the eyes of sorcerers. It's like a shimmering film over the eyes. The
eyes of sorcerers are brilliant. The greater the shine, the more ruthless the sorcerer is. At this
moment, your eyes are dull."
He explained that when the assemblage point moved to the place of no pity, the eyes began to
shine. The firmer the grip of the assemblage point on its new position, the more the eyes shone.

Ruthlessness makes sorcerers' eyes shine, and that shine beckons intent. Each spot to which their
assemblage points move is indicated by a specific shine of their eyes. Since their eyes have their
own memory, they can call up the recollection of any spot by calling up the specific shine
associated with that spot."
He explained that the reason sorcerers put so much emphasis on the shine of their eyes and on
their gaze is because the eyes are directly connected to intent. Contradictory as it might sound,
the truth is that the eyes are only superficially connected to the world of everyday life. Their
deeper connection is to the abstract. I could not conceive how my eyes could store that sort of
information, and I said as much. Don Juan's reply was that man's possibilities are so vast and
mysterious that sorcerers, rather than thinking about them, had chosen to explore them, with no
hope of ever understanding them.
I asked him if an average man's eyes were also affected by intent.
"Of course!" he exclaimed. "You know all this. But you know it at such a deep level that it is
silent knowledge. You haven't sufficient energy to explain it, even to yourself.
"The average man knows the same thing about his eyes, but he has even less energy than you.
The only advantages sorcerers may have over average men is that they have stored their energy,
which means a more precise, clearer connecting link with intent. Naturally, it also means they can
recollect at will, using the shine of their eyes to move their assemblage points."

I didn't really see anything. It's obvious you're in a very relaxed state, but I'm not even sure which "blue" you're talking about.

It looks like the light is reflecting twice, as it did not remain within a point on the eye. I would say the light hits your eye, reflects to the inside of your glasses, then back on to your eye again.

I have also noticed a difference in eyes during meditation. I assume it is because of the different processes in the hemispheres affecting visual translation.

Also, the light appeared dimmer over the eyelid, and brightened up noticeably when it reflected off the shiny surface of eye.
