Several of the Tamie Yarie kits do better with flat back oval eyes. You put them in just like the round flat backs.
I had ordered some off Ebay that looked a lot like Real eyes. I used them in my Maggie.
They fit MUCH better than the rounds ones did. Kemperdolls.com also sells the glass ones. I used those in the past on some of the Berenguer SE dolls.

We also have oval glass eyes. They are the same ones that we commonly see elsewhere in the $15 to $20 range, and ours are $6.95 to $12.95. Here is a link:
We have companies that buy them from us for resale-- that’s why you often see these same eyes at $15 to $20 elsewhere.
But by far the most popular eyes we have are the Bountiful Baby half-round polymer eyes. That’s why we have such a hard time keeping them in stock. Here is a link:
The eye socket for most kits is shaped for the half-round, but oval can generally be used as well. For the oval eyes, you might need a stronger glue (such as E6000), though, since the eye socket typically isn’t shaped for oval eyes. But it typically will work, even if the eye socket isn’t shaped for it.
