I can't seem to get a good close up eye picture. I have a pretty good camera too. Sony NEX. How do you suggest I get a good close up? Is there a certain way to face the camera? Tripod no tripod? Take a whole face pic and zoom and crop? Thanks!

Take a full-face picture and then crop out the area you're keen on focusing on. Think it'd be so much easier than fiddling about with your camera settings. Unless your full-face photos aren't in sharp focus. In which case, you'd need to get busy fiddling.

I can get a good angle if I try to get just my eye. So do I do a face pic and crop?

I suggest cropping. It'll give you a better option of which area you really want and if you intend to do any photo editing, it's better to do it when you can see the bigger picture. It's what I'd do anyway. Good luck!

Try looking for the 'macro' setting on your camera. Its usually represented by a little flower icon. This particular setting is for focusing in on fine details in close-up shots.
