I find it can take 5-10 minutes to go through my stash of glass eyes to find two that actually match in diameter, dome shape, etc. Maybe it takes even longer!

I buy 10 pr. at a time of each size with the exception of a couple of sizes I use all the time - those I get more of. Is there an easy way to find two that match? Is there a brand/quality that tends to be more identical in shape/size than another?

(Yes, I keep each size separate but there is such variation in size and shape of say 7mm eyes.... because they are handblown I don't expect them to be idnetical but this is time consuming and I start going cross-eyed!!)

Actually, I buy the premium glass eyes from Intercal; the ones with the new loop design.   They cost more but I swear they are almost all precisely the same dimension for a given size, from diameter, to dome height, pupil size, etc.  And the glass NEVER has bubbles in it, which I have occasionally found with other eyes.  Try them out!

Quality #560, in clear or the color of your choice!
