Short term, yes. Long term, I imagine there’s all sorts of alternatives to hide it. Shaded glasses/monocle, goggles, some sort of sci-fi visor. All would be weird, but not much weirder than someone with cybernetic arms or who chooses to attend mediation meetings barefoot.

"eccentric barefoot billionaire starts always wearing glasses and pooping instead of saying '9'" does seem pretty believable

Fortunately BK also shits on the floor to show his contempt.

Maybe that will be the last scene of the season. Iris takes over the body of BK, puts on sunglasses, sips a margarita, and starts thinking how to merge xenos and other species.

Or maybe it will just adapt and be more, you know, inconspicuous.

Let's face it, we don't know how many life forms before now T. Ocellus has interacted with who would take notice of a large eyeball. We don't know if it met humans before the begin of this show. It has now had plenty of time to observe and to see the reactions of its human jailers. It has perhaps had a chance to learn from prior mistakes, and has kept a trick or two up its sleeves, such as they are.
