Welcome to the forum! We don't have a common word for someone with one eye. A joking way to say it is "cyclops".

VorparA joking way to say it is "cyclops".If silkyseem is referring to Greek mythology, this is exactly the word.
In a deck of 52 cards, there are four "jacks", two of which are pictured full-front, the other two being a profile: they are called "one-eyed jacks".

Hello,I am 71 and was shot dead center in my R eye when I was 14.One of my friends jokingly called me 'deadeye',referring to my eye and my marksmanship.(I had Crossed Rifles and Crown then).I think it fits.'Red Skelton' had a character back then called "Deadeye" also.I live in Nova Scotia.*** bless
