im not too hot when it comes to texturing, but maybe you want to take a UV snapshot of the shape and work the iris image over that in photoshop? dnt really understand UVs

Can we see a screeny of what your problem is?

Also, in case you wanted it for future use, here is an action I made that creates a custom iris texture automaticly:

Also, have you tried a simple planar map?

When you map a texture to the color of your material, at the top of the Create Texture window you have 3 choices, the default and most used one being Normal. You can, if you wish, choose to use a Projection. This will create a placement node in your scene which you can place that shows how the texture will project on the surface you apply it to.
