"Ihr" and "Ihre" have got several meanings that depend on the context.
1. both "ihr" and "ihre" can be feminine, possessive pronouns. "Ihr" and "ihre" both declare, that something belongs to a girl or woman. For instance:
"ihr Auge"= her eye (singular)
"ihre Augen" = her eyes (plural)
2. "Ihr" and "Ihre" can also be used as the polite form of the possessive pronoun your. When you meet a stranger or talk to a "person of authority" (what may be a teacher for instance), mostly you address him/her with "Sie" instead of "Du" (you). "Ihr" and "Ihre" in this context also declare, that something belongs to that person.
"Ihr Auge" = your eye (singular)
"Ihre Augen" = your eyes (plural)
For better differentiation (and because it`s polite, I think) the polite-form "Sie" and "Ihr/Ihre" should be capitalized.
3. it can be a word you use when adressing a couple/group of people. Then "Ihr" means "you". Example:
"Ihr seid spät."= you are late.
