Shall I give my opinion?

I think "a big round eyes" is incorrect. It is because we use "a" to indicate the singular noun.

It should be "a pair of big round eyes". Am I right? that's my opinion. Just give me comment.

Thanks.

You are right! You may say "big round eyes" without a pair and it will be understood as a pair.
