Try this, ala Tim Grey: If you want to fix it directly on the layer,
simply use the normal Brush tool with a soft-edged brush and the
foreground color set to black. Set the Blending Mode for the brush on
the Options bar to Color, and then paint over the red eye. If you want
to work on a separate layer, which I recommend, then create a new layer
above your image layer, and changing the Blending Mode for that layer to
Color. Then use the Brush tool with a soft-edged brush and black as the
foreground color, but the Blending Mode for the Brush tool on the
Options bar set to Normal. Paint away on the red eye and the color will
be neutralized.
