First, drag the layer to the "new layer" icon at the bottom of the layers palette. Make a lightly feathered selection around each "red-eye" using the elliptical marquee tool. Make a selection around one and then press shift to create the second one. Holding the space bar while making the selection will allow you to position it more accurately. Now you have several options
Option 1: create a new layer and fill the selections with black and adjust the opacity to suit
Option 2: adjust the selection in the new layer…brightness, contrast, levels, color balance, hue, saturation etc.
Option 3: create a layer mask and then an adjustment layer and modify the adjustment layer.
Compare your modifications to the original layer on the bottom.
More options exist, but any of these should work. I’ve had to adjust out the red and also restore the surrounding color. I would try option 2 first if you’re unfamiliar with layer masks or adjustment layers.
