The first doll eyes I bought came from Schoepfers. I still have a pair of them in my stash somewhere. That was almost 50 years ago now. I soon will be ordering more. When you are revamping 100 year old dolls, you need the best eyes money can buy. The worst thing you can do to a doll is put stationary, cheap, ugly eyes in it. I’ve never seen better than Schoepfers.
