if you want a perfect circle catch light in your subjects eye first determine the working distance you need and then look for the corresponding modifier.
1. acrylic globe for home lighting (good for small dot or working close)... surprisingly cheap
2. china lantern come in many diff sizes (good for small dot or working close).... surprisingly more cheap.
3. use umbrella as close to lens as possible... some cases directly behind camera.
4. any round box or octa bank or rotalux style bank.

only need a tenth of amount of light to produce specular in eyes... adjust to your liking but so it does not effect your main lighting ratio.
