"Stop Rolling Your Eyes at Me!"
"I can't believe you're asking me to do one more chore," she rolls her eyes in exasperation.
Eye rolling expresses disrespect. There you are making a reasonable request and your child responds with an eye roll as if to say, "You are so annoying." It's close to expressing contempt for what you've said, if not for you personally. Rolling eyes can quickly become a habit.

roll your eyes
› to move your eyes upwards as a way of showing that you are annoyed or bored after someone has done or said something

Eyes. Every word your AE says, no matter how sincere it may sound, will be instantly defeated with even a half-second of rolling the eyes. Once you roll your eyes, you’re telling the client I don’t believe what you’re saying. When you start rolling your eyes, you might as well roll right out the door! Look your client in the eyes, especially when your closing business. It tells them you can be trusted and you’re holding nothing back. Eye contact shows you are engaged and interested.

fazer cara de desdém
bom, pelo menos em pt-br acho que 'revirar os olhos' é uma expressão usada um outro sentido/contexto que do 'eye rolling'.
ou simplesmente 'não faça essa cara' (se o estilo/produto permitir um texto mais literário, acho que está bem entendido).

: Com todo o respeito, não me parece que seja a mesma coisa. Pode-se olhar com desdém sem revirar os olhos, nomeadamente, olhando de lado, fechando um pouco os olhos com enfado... É bem diferente de "revirar os olhos", penso eu.
