Many, many darumas. All of them have both the eyes painted in. You paint in one eye when you make a vow or a wish and the when it's fulfilled you paint in the other eye. I got a daruma from a student and I painted in an eye when I started searching for a job this past year. I filled it in when I got the letter of appointment. Yay! I didn't bring it to this temple, though. I'm making the victory sign because it's a thing lots of Japanese people do when they get their picture taken.
