i see what you mean..and it was prob done just like the name says..it was done at an extreme resolution. the cratering effect your talking about looks like it was done in Zbrush, it could prob be photoshop, but zbrush makes that cratering effect pretty easy, the way it uses depth information from your brush to get that embossed=cratering look,plus it has symetrical brush functions that make eye painting very fast. "wish photoshop had symetry" and as for realistic..i havent ever met someone with eyes like that, they are highly detailed though.look over in the zbrush froum or at some of glen southerns work,i think theyr even is a tut on how its done....now everyone can smack me in the head for talking about a different app in the photoshop forum.:)
