I tie mine with real black glasses and a small white-tipped walking cane.
Then the big fish KNOW they're blind.

from the article:
I thought I would inject this about eyes. On my Froggie, I use shirt or
quilt pins for eyes. The protrude a bit from the foam. I have noted several
times, the Froggie is more effective when one eye was pulled out or lost on a
fish or cast.. I am not sure if the Froggie made a different wake when
retrieved or maybe a different sound.

There is no doubt some flies are more effective with eyes than
without. Eyes can add both physical and visual balance to a fly. The eyes may
add just that certain bit of spark, brightness or contrast that makes the
pattern irresistible. In certain patterns, eyes impart action and even noise to
a streamer. Blanton's Whistlers and Clousser's Deep Minnows are good examples;
exchange the lead eyes on a Deep Minnow with plastic eyes and the fly loses
both it's jigging action and fish catching qualities.
COMMENTS?
I have tied some streamers and placed eyes at the beginning the
bend of the hook. Pretty close to the tail. I haven't done any studies, but
I don't believe
I caught more fish with those than when the eyes were up near the
front. No scuba
observations here. Most of the streams I fish have very few spots
where a person could
use scuba gear.
