As near as I can tell, this image was taken from The Tauber Eye Center's website.

They go into detail about what we're actually seeing in the picture:

The keratoprosthesis is made of two pieces (see diagram) – a clear plastic front plate and a back plate (either plastic or titanium) – that form a “collar button” shape when assembled together with donor corneal tissue. The assembled device is sutured into the patient’s eye, just like a traditional corneal transplant. The special materials used allows nutrients to enter the eye more effectively than previous designs.

Jack: Where the hell can I get eyes like that?

Riddick: Gotta kill a few people.

Jack: 'Kay, I can do it.

Riddick: Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.

Jack: So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?

Riddick: Exactly.
