The higher highlight is a good suggestion. I also found it necessary to make that highlight not as white as I often made them when closer to the center of the eye.

On some ocassions I have had subjects with deep set eyes and did not find (nor paint) highlights. (See the attached study). Also see the Sorolla self portrait under "Artists of the past/Sorolla" thread. The effect makes the subject look intense.
