I found the eye schield not that effective against strong opponents. In my last game (sp) I equiped the bean sidhe assasins with them. Mundane commanders got blinded if stayed long enough, but I had several battles against Nifel Jarls, every battle pretty long (for an assasination attempt) but none lost even one eye.
I thought the mistform and mirror image were preventing hitting the schield for the effect to take place but as I said common indy commanders got blinded almost every time when they last longer than one combat round.
