You may remove some of the material around the eye orbit to enlarge it so that the eye fits. Do not remove any material that is on the flat surface, only going around the eye. The reason for this is that most forms on the market today are produced with the correct eye angles molded in,which is the flat area of the eye. If you want to check the angles,you can use a protractor. A deers eyes are set at a 45 degree inward tilt and a 8 - 9 degree downward tilt. Always take these measurements from yhe centerline of the form. Ed
