eye meshes not rendering in maya

I'm trying to render my model so far with these high-res eyes just to get a work-in-progress still, but they aren't showing up when I hit render current frame... I thought it might have something to do with the translucent lens meshes that are around each eyeball mesh, but even when I remove them the eyeball meshes still don't show up.these are the eyes, in place, in the 3d view




and when I render...
is there some limitation to only using the default render current frame option that's preventing the eyes? any help appreciated :)

    Several things could be in cause, but if I were you I would try to open a new scene with only the eyes to check if you they are rendered. I'd also check if the normals are inverted, try with a standard red material, etc. Try to have at least only the eye to show up. Also, if they are on another layer, maya only renders the master layer, I doubt thats the probleme, but I'm just throwing it out there. Somebody else will probably have a better answer, but I think it's worth a shot
