More natural looking eyes
I wasn't happy with the eyes that came with the dolls I've purchased so I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find more natural looking eyes. I finally found these. They're reasonably priced, $5 a pair, and come in seven very nice colors. They are 28mm half round. They are not quite as big as I'd like them to be but they are pretty darn good. You can get them here:

Here are a few pics of them in my dolls.

Re: More natural looking eyes
pictures show that your 28mm eyes fit well. I had the same problems searching for better eyes than the original ones. But those were hard to get. Original eyes of my WM doll measure 32mm. I found 30mm eyes at a company called Mr. Eyes from spain. But they had way too big irises, so the doll would look like in a cartoon.
The next eye size was 26mm and had correct iris measurement. So I ordered some colors of these 26mm. But they were a little bit too small and didn't fill the eye hole completely. Then I found the thread of member MannequinFan here at TDF where he manufactured easy movable eyes with magnetic lenses for easy changing the eye colors. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=57400
I ordered these eyes from him. They arrived last Monday and I'm very happy with them.
