Is there a way to get the center location of the iris as well?

May be you can use Dlib landmarks to get the co-ordinates of eye. Get the centroid of all the 6 landmarks on the eye and mark it loosly as iris.

@ProudCule is correct. And once you have a loose location for the iris, you could probably use OpenCV functions like thresholding and contours to find the iris area and then find the middlepoint of the iris contour to get the exact center point location: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2016/02/01/opencv-center-of-contour/
