Fish eyes tend to like different temperatures and water content during cutting. Chill the eyes well after facing off, then when cutting dip a brush in the warm water bath and "paint" the lens area, warming it up a little and moistening it at the same time. If the eyes are processed properly, you have a better chance of getting a good section.
