Eyeloops

I've been going through my eyeloops, and on my previous model i wanted to make my model as realistic as possible, I used, as i always have, technique 2 (look at the pic below). Now i realised that i can't get the hard sides of the eyes as i wanted to, so i started to go around diffrent ways to do this, in order to get the result i wanted. I came up with the idea (technique 1, the mesh on the left). This will definatly bring out the sides of the eye, but the loops will go in a messy way (the upper and lower eye part will collide at the sides) so i selected all corner edges after this and extruded, this will achieve the right topology around the eye. Now: is there anything bad with this technique, or is there an easier way to get the result i want to?

good/bad... etc etc
