Fortunately, getting rid of red eye is something I've rarely had to do. 
  Any automated means I've used in various tools don't seem to work very 
well.  I've never actually tried this but I would suggest:

1.  Use the magic wand tool to select a red eye area based on color
2.  Use the eye dropper tool to select a color from the pupil itself if 
it's not completely red.  The pupil is really a very dark gray and using 
pure black will rarely look good.
3.  With the paint color chosen use the paint bucket to pour paint of 
the chosen color into the selected area.
4.  Some kind of touch up or blending might be required.

I'll be eagerly awaiting any better solutions myself.
