Face up

If you like the iris size, you could always get an 18mm eye with a small pupil! That should solve some of the gapping issues! If there are gaps between the eye and resin, you wanna go bigger and not smaller in order to fill that gap! I did see this Flickr post that showed the sculpt with 14mm eyes and I didn't see much gapping, so it might be worth getting a cheap pair of 14mm or small iris 18mm eyes to try!

 

Oh I see! I hope that works! 14mm is normally what I use for that scale but you can also maybe look at 12 mm if that could work! Also might be worth looking into high versus low dome eyes (my resinsoul dolls have that problem a lot, and I've seen people recommend a high dome eye to get it to be closer to the front of the eye-socket)

 

You might get the answers you need if you post on the Dollstown discussion thread for the doll size you own. There might be owners of the same head sculpt who could help you there.

I don't own any Dollstown sculpts sadly, but if for some reason you don't want to ask other Dollstown owners. You can purchase eye sizers at most doll-making supply stores. They usually come in sets and are used to make the eye-wells in the clay master. However, they can also be used to check which sized eyes work best for no gaps. They are the wooden kind and not to be confused with eye bevelers, which have a sanding stone instead of a wooden bead. You could use the bevelers as well, but you might want to be careful if you're head has lashes or just a face up.

You can also measure the eye opening, from side to side, which ever is bigger (width or length). Then just add one or two mm, but that size should be the smallest eye your head can have without any gaps. Hope that helps, sorry for the two pages worth of text and any grammar issues... I need to go to work now, and I wasn't able to fall asleep all night. (:
