What about the other eye that is left open when you stare at the sun? Did it commit suicide?

Did it commit suicide?  

Reference A:
One-Eyed Jane (vis-à-vis above image) - from the Wicked Travels of
One-Eyed Jane wherein the virtuous Jane Spiess becomes the malevolent
(and wealthy) One-Eyed Jane. (One-Eyed Pirates)

Reference B:
The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a
symbol showing an eye often surrounded by a glory* and usually
enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing
the eye of God watching over humankind.

Reference C (Lord of the Rings):
The Eye of Sauron** was a symbol adopted by the Dark Lord during the
Second Age and the Third Age. It was said that few could endure the
eye's terrible gaze. The Eye was used on armor and banners of Mordor
as a symbol of how Sauron "sees all" and was Sauron's official insignia.

Reference D:
Polyphemus - GIYF (or ask Leanne who'll probably suggest you should JFGI)


*From Wikipedia: A glory is an optical phenomenon that
resembles an iconic saint's halo about the shadow of the observer's head.
It consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of
which is red on the outside and bluish towards the center. The effect is
believed to happen due to classical wave tunneling, when light nearby the
droplet tunnels through air inside the droplet and, in the case of a glory,
is emitted backwards due to resonance effects.

**From One Wiki to Rule Them All (a website devoted to the works of Tolkien):
Sauron, the eponymous Lord of the Rings, was a fallen Maia, the creator
of the One Ring, and the most trusted lieutenant of his master Morgoth (Melkor,
the first Dark Lord). After Morgoth's defeat in the First Age, Sauron became
the second Dark Lord and strove to conquer Arda, creating the Rings of Power
for this purpose. In the Second Age, he was defeated in the War of the Last
Alliance by the last line of defense: elves and men.
