When sculpting heads, it is often useful to use hard eyeball shape, known as a blank, inside the head rather than a soft clay eyeball. This means you can place the eyeballs in position, move them around as required to get perfect placement and sculpt the eyelids around them in clay without fear of damage to them.
You can then make your mould of the head with these eye -forms in place, bolt them into the mould so they are correctly placed and create an accurate cavity for the proper fake eyes you will place in them each time.
In this video, I decided instead to model up an eye-blank in CAD and then print some on a 3D printer. Because I thought that would be a useful shape to keep, I also moulded and cast up some resin copies and documented the process to show you its progress.
