I had also always assumed that the "eye" was just a far more advanced camera that would be too expensive to have more than one of. Like having something that can see multiple light spectrum's and aid weapon/target tracking. One of the reasons only Gundams in UC have two eyes is that it cost too much to have two eyes in a GM.

Gundams generally have three main cameras the two eyes and a third on the fore head they are the main targeting system for the weapons. The GM mobile suits in the UC universe from what I have heard are the same type as the ZAKU Zion units but the Federation not wanting their main unit to look like the enemy's suit so had a visor added to the design to cover it. The mono eye was simpler and cheaper to maintain even though it had less sensory acuity.
