The word 'eye'

I have been asked by my classmates. Why and how we pronounce 'eye'? Does it belong to 'ie/igh' or is it because of the silence e at the end? Please can someone explain? Thank you!!!

There is no reason. It is unique, but it is a sort of honorary member of the very small -ye family of words. eye rhymes with lye, rye, bye, dye, and stye.
