The reasons a missing eye is used so consistently for this purpose (instead of, for example a missing limb or massive scarring), are:
* It doesn't reduce the character's capabilities. (In real life, the lack of depth perception and vision on that side can be very troublesome, but in fiction this only comes up if the writer wants it to.)
* In a live-action production, removing an actor's arm (et cetera) is hard to fake with special effects, and scars require makeup. A patch is easy.
* Scars elsewhere on the body are less obvious, and may be covered by clothing, but a character's eyes are usually front-n-center.

* In the original 1992-3 airings of ''[[YoungIndianaJones The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles]]'', there were [[FramingDevice opening and closing bookends]] set in the present day (that is, the 1990s). These featured a wizened 93-year-old IndianaJones (played by George Hall), who sported a patch over his right eye, and a pair of glasses over the eyepatch. He also had a long vertical facial scar trailing out from under the patch. No explanation was ever offered for how Indy had lost an eye. The "time skip" element comes into play because HarrisonFord's Indy of course still has both eyes in the film series, set in the 1930s. These contemporary bookends were later all cut out when [[ReCut George Lucas re-edited the show]] into ''The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones'' in the later part of the decade.

A quick way to indicate that events during a TimeSkip were not all hugs-n-puppies is to have one of your heroes return wearing an eyepatch.
