You might already know this, but if not, try not to rest your hand on the paper when you draw, it helps a lot when doing shapes you are not good at or hard shapes like circles.

Other than that try drawing right eyes, flip the paper and simply trace the drawing so you get left eyes. In time you will be able to do it with out having the shadow drawing underneath

Imo the best way to get eyes similar is to use helplines.
Most important a horizontal line so one eye doesnt end up higher or lower on the face. Also marking the same distanz from the nose to the beginning of the eye on both sides, help alot.

As Giam said, guide lines can help you place facial features and get proportions equal.
It might also be a good idea to practice just drawing pairs of eyes. It wouldn't take long to draw a page full of eyes and you'll be sure to improve. Especially if you reference lots of different style eyes.
