one-eyed

Missing an eye

One-eyed describes having or using only one eye—whether from birth, injury, or obstruction: a one-eyed cat, the one-eyed pirate.

The term extends to things with a single eye-like feature: a one-eyed needle.

Figuratively, one-eyed suggests a narrow or limited perspective: a one-eyed view of history.
