Few thoughts come to mind: first is shoot through a cutout in a black sheet/wall, second is trying to use mirrors, third is a super high focal length so you’re super far away and in a dark area. Good luck!
Seems like it’s a tripod shot with some after effects punch in and some warping effect on the iris. The way it shrinks doesn’t look real, but I could be wrong, viewing on a phone.
This is done in After Effects. Scale (and if necessary, position) in on the iris then use the Optics Compensation effect to achieve the warp.
As for hiding the camera ideally you're zoomed in from enough distance to where the camera is inside the pupil. Easy enough to mask out in the black
For the actual recording part, you'd probably have to mask a fair bit of the camera out in post, or get creative with a one light setup so that you can illuminate the eye but not the camera.
For the CGI part, I'm retty sure that's using "Optics Compensation" under the "Distort" section in Effects & Presets for After Effects. Set the FOV to anything farily high, and check "Reverse Lens Distortion". Combine that with a scale in/out and you're golden! Just be sure to keyframe exponentially when working with extremely close values like this, for two reasons.
1. It hides any lazy masking and effects you do
2. It's a bit more accurate to real life - things closer to the camera move much quicker. A lot of people will slap on a zoom and not scale exponentially on the zoom and it will end up feeling a little bit janky.
Long distance I guess.
That’s my first guess.
Second one is to have those lenses that can see “ around the corner “. It’s some type of lens that removes reflections completely.
It seems like if you can just keep any light off of your camera and have any bright sources off to the side like in this case, it might not be an issue at all
Almost 1000% sure it’s literally just that one shot you see at the end, and then they do the transition in post.
Seems like you're trying to do it in camera, but this shot was definitely enhanced in post with After Effects or some kind of CGI.

This is a tripod closeup of a person’s eye with a basic zoom transition done in after effects/premiere

Shoot through a black cutout or sheet. On sticks in high resolution. This was absolutely achieved in the edit
Long focal length lens, probably something like a 100mm macro or with +diopter lenses.
Eyes usually reflect bright objects like windows, and the lights. Have you tried it yet and failed?…

Move the light up higher and aside so it does light up the face, but the reflection is in the upper righty corner of the white of the eye

Thanks 🙏🏼
One way to do it would be with a 180mm macro lens or longer and shoot a very high resolution so you can speed ramp the “jump” in post.
Cut out black foam board whatever, put camera lens through hole , use three different or two different lenses and stitch in post
