Average corneal temperature for a human eye is 32.2 degrees C. That works out to 89.96 degrees F. If you just keep your eyes open for ten seconds straight, it can go down by another half degree or so. Links below for evidence.
This is obviously a lot colder than body temperature, but the connection of the eye to the body is a lot more limited. If you have ever seen an IR picture of a human face, the eyes are usually obvious darker spots.
It works both ways - if something causes your eyes to heat up for some reason, they have more trouble cooling down than the rest of your body! That's why scientists were concerned enough about magnetic heating of the cornea during MRIs to do the research below!

Depends on which part of the eye.
The backside and interior are at normal body temperature, since they're well supplied with blood.
The cornea and external visible sclera, being exposed to room ambient are cooler, about 90ºF, consistent with the temperature of your skin.

The temperature of the human eye if there is not a fever or hypothermia is 98.6 degrees F or 37 degrees C.

98.6 F or 32 C. The same as the temp. of the rest of the human body.
