Because it wasn't a natural tool for him, he lost his left eye in combat. He wore an eyepatch over the socket until Agamotto transplanted Silver Dagger's eye into it. Doctor Strange had destroyed Dormammu in a prior confrontation - completely annihilated, unlike the other encounters! The dread one's life energy eventually slipped beneath the eye patch and grew powerful enough to take over Stephen's body.
