Something was said about this, way back during Goblet of Fire.  The original 
plan was for Ralph Fiennes to wear red contacts but when they put him in makeup, 
the natural blue of his eyes against the makeup of Voldemort's character was so 
striking, the producers decided to leave his eyes alone.  Frankly, I've always 
thought that was a good decision.  


Every tiny detail can't always be translated from book to movie.  Dan Radcliff 
was unable to wear the green contacts they originally wanted for him, Ralph as 
Voldemort was just as evil without red contacts.

June:
Yes, you can clearly see that they do have the same eyes so I don't 
know what everyone is on about. The thing that I thought people 
would point out (and no one has) is the fact that Voldemort has blue 
eyes. In the books Voldemort's eyes were red but in the movie they 
are blue. Personally although it would have been better to see him 
totally as described in the books, I have no problem with his eyes 
being blue but I would have thought someone would have said something 
about this.
