Copy the good eyes and past onto the other ones - then use healing brush to blend

I would use the second example for the eyes as the skin tones are quite similar but...without Photoshop, I couldn't do it.

Your 2nd image worked well..pasted the eyes in and blended with masking.

I too used the eyes from the second photo. They were a very good match. Here is my attempt at fixing the eyes.

It may not be what you want to hear, but I would leave the eyes as they are, she looks caught in a moment of joy. I admit the replacement is a good job, but.....
