By using the brush you can lighten an area with either the exposure or if the area is dark you can use the shadows adjustment (be careful with this as it can introduce noise if too high).
Try a very slight exposure level first, just on the dark eye.

kindly educate me...if the shadows slider is pushed full to the right, how would the brush open up shadows further?

Shan , there is another oportunites still to do it for brashes.. you can open the picture in Lightroom again if you have it still in RAW, edited already pictre, and open the brash and there you will see, there is own \\ shadows\\ furthers and more anoters useful too.. , you need to be only cerful with quality of the picture!
but I recommend to try it , so you will know in the future how it working like .. , sometiems is better take picture again.. but the brash can be still another oportunites..
I hope I helped a bit more

Hi Shan,
I have just discovered that I can download your image, make some adjustments and re upload.
So I have just lightened the dark eye a tiny bit.
