most of the time they look just black

Good lighting! and a sharp focus. The general rule is never shoot people any sharper than f 8, but some fast film and f 32 to 64 brings out lots of detailing the eyes.The problem is it also brings out way to much detail on the skin,
Use photoshop to isolate the eyes then soften the focus on the skin.
Have fun playing with that

Use light that enters the eyes from the side (late afternoon or early morning), then use a big white piece of sheet or cardboard to bounce some of that back into the eyes from the other side. Use a macro lens so you can get closer than the usual 3 feet away that most lenses limit you to.

It's all about lighting. Experiment with a few different light sources (flourescent, strong daylight, etc.).
I've found that using the 'golden light' right before sunset often works best.
It might be that your current light source is too strong, try diffusing or reducing the intensity so it won't overpower the color of the eyes.

use a macro lense on your camera. this allows not so much an effect like a telephoto lense but more like a microscope of low power.

Let them look into the sun and do not use a flash and then try it with a flash. See which one works best..
