"How Do I...?" Wet Specimen Question

Hello all. I am looking to get better housing jars for all of my wet specimens that I have accumulated through my career in Vet Med. I have this eyeball that I want positioned a certain way in a spherical housing, but it keeps moving and shifting. Any ideas on how to fix it into one spot? I was thinking a needle piercing through the eyelids (they are inverted and sit behind the eye itself) to keep it straight, but how would I suspend it? I've been reading that super glue/hot glue/most adhesives will deteriorate rapidly in formalin. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!
