No the iris isn't replaced to repair vision. It is the cornea. The entire eye is removed when donating but only the cornea is used. It is usually grafted into place! Very rarely, the sclera can be used in sight saving surgery but NO OTHER part of the eye can be used. The rest may be used in research though!
There is a great pic on the link below that shows you what it is like to have corneal damage!

most of the eye can be taken, but the most common parts are the Iris(colored part) and the Cornea, it is very hard to take the Optic nerve and re-attach that, the other 2 a little easier

The cornea and sometimes the lens, not usually the iris.
