How do you make eyes?

Personally, when I in Maya and am working on a high poly model, I use nurb spheres. I was wondering how many of you go about making your eyeballs? Especially with low poly characters. I have seen some people use low-poly geopsheres in max to get the job done. Just wondering how you personally go about this process. There are probably a ton of different methods.

    I use an 8-sided regulat sphere if i want moving eyeballs usually. Not a geosphere because I prefer mapping the pupil to the end point of the sphere. Plus it's easier to get the shape of the eyelid right if you use a placeholder sphere to show where the eyeball is.
    For lower poly characters I won't do eyeballs at all, just roughly shape the eye area with a few triangles.
