Beautiful acrylic half dome doll eyes with realistic details.  We recommend our Eye Changing Tool listed separately to assist customers in pulling out old eyes and adjusting them within the socket.  
 
To change and remove eyes:
 
1. Heat the eye (one eye at a time is fine and actually preferred) by using a blow dryer and hold 1" away from the eye for 10 minutes.  Note that the time is important so use a clock because this vinyl is hard and you need it to heat up to the right temperature to make those eyes pop out and new eyes in so be patient and wait the time.  Do not use a heat gun it will melt your doll!
​
2. Stick your eye tool into the top of the eyelid and between the eye as in the picture with the wide spatula side of the tool and slide it around to the back of the eye (which is hollow because these are half dome eyes) and pry up the eye on it's side.
​
3. Once the eye is on it's side you can either use the tool to pry it completely out - watch out that eye flies! or pull it out with your fingers.  Note the head is hot so we recommend if you are using your fingers at all to wear rubber kitchen gloves during this process.
​
4. Depending on how long it took you to get the eye out, you may need to reheat the eye before inserting the new eyes.  I find the best way to figure that out is to try to insert the eye and if you are having trouble pushing that in, the head has probably cooled too much.  Reheat the head.
​
5. Slide the new eye in at an angle to slide under the top eyelid, you want to be as flat as possible because the next step is to push down on the bottom to get under the bottom eyelid and if you are too much at an angle that will be challenging.  You can use your tool here as well to get under the eye and move it around or to lift the sockets and adjust the eye.  Once it is in there you can continue to use the tool to move the eye around to the position it needs to be.  This can be using a combination of the spatula side and the small diamond side to get into the corners of the socket and move the eye.  Be patient!  Once the eye is in the correct spot squish the head a bit to nudge the socket back into it's original shape.  If it looks unusual you probably don't have the eye completely flat inside the socket and will need to try again.  No worries, just reheat and adjust and the socket will return to it's original shape.
