Only thing I can think of to remove superglue is hot water.
You can carfully pull the eye out and as little of the TPE then wash the eye under the faucet to remove the glue. When you go to replace it either put the lash on first. Or place the eye in and a slip of wax paper. Then apply the lash.

Maybe a picture would help and the kind of glue used.
Always use a toothpick to apply glue.

I would try baby oil if we're talking about a TPE doll although I don't know if the oil will effect the half round eye ball tbh I suspect it might lead to the plastic of the half round cracking.
Anyway as super glue sets rock hard I would massage the oil in and agitate the eye, in the same way I would to remove fingernails.
Take your time with it and leave it for a while if it's not going fast enough, it'll come off eventually.
Make sure you get any shards of set glue out of the socket as well after youve freed the half round otherwise they'll sit there cutting into the tpe when you move the eyes in the future.
