Soft glass eyes?

I am looking for realistic hazel eyes? Any suggestions? I saw these, not in hazel, but I have never used this brand before so I am curious.

I heard they collect dust and lint. I haven’t tried them for that reason

So they are literally bendy? The description does make him sound like dust catchers…

I bought a pair many years ago and hated them. They got dirty easily and the iris was really small. I never used them.

I like the Eyeco Chuck Hazel eyes if you are interested in polymer eyes. For glass eyes, full rounds will be the most realistic.

I have used them. Unfortunately they do collect dust and lint. But boy are they great for fitting into weird sockets.

These! They even “change” color like real hazel. All these babies have these same chuck hazel eyes.

I’m wondering if maybe using a clear air dry gloss would protect them from collecting dust. Just a thought, I’ve never used them.

I’m trying this on the eyes I’m using now. Looks like it’s beading up, but we will see. I’m not done fighting with it yet.

I tried to gloss the ones I had and it just peeled off the silicone.

If they are the bendable glass eyes (kind of like silicone) then yes they do grab lint and dust very easily. I used them once and regretted it. They are really hard to clean when they collect even the slightest dust. The seem to have a very fine rough texture that you can’t feel with your hands, but I think that is what makes them grab dust.

Those are my favorite and what I wanted to use originally but they wanted glass eyes. So I was looking at options. I may still get those though.

I’ve had customers ask for glass eyes. Then they change their mind when they see the eyeco poly glass eyes. They end up agreeing the eyeco eyes look more realistic.

I just purchased the chuck hazel. I told them about the realistic factor. So I’m hopeful they will like them.

I wonder if they’d attract dust if they were glossed with Pledge. Eyeco eyes glossed with it look like glass.
