Hmm, people are retarded, there is a thing called Wikipedia these days, why not go read about the man before you made an gargantuan ass out of yourself for making an comment about the eye-patch. The man is a creative genuis, and wearing the eye-patch is out of necessity not some GaGa gimmick.
Yeah, he actually contracted a really, really nasty infection in his eye after he washed his contacts in Greek tap water, and so it's my understanding that it's pretty nasty looking, hence the eye patch.
His eye patch is reported to be due to an infection of amoebic keratitis caught from a contact lens. After several operations doctors were not able to save the eye, though it did not require removal.
Somehow, watching this song with the video, it occurs to me that it's a work of genius. I have had the album a few days now, and this was not one of my favourite tracks, but it's really just hit me, in its frilly way.
For some reason i have the line 'See you in the acid bath' stuck in my head. You get some strange things stuck in your head when you listen to Momus.

No, he does have a left eye but he had a nasty infection so he has no vision in it.

he got a parasitic infection in his eye from wearing contact lenses and he lost his sight in that eye.

I think he may have removed his own eye. For the same reason van Gogh cut off his ear.

Near the end of the video, where it fast forwards-- kind of reminds me of Baraka. Mother of all IMAX films.
