Useful info
Giant eyeballs are harmless on their own, but have a captivating stare which can paralyze the player, leaving them unable to take any action for several turns, which in the presence of other monsters is likely to be deadly. Its gaze doesn't need a line of sight, just like Smiting. Confusion doesn't stop it from gazing at you. The paralysis attack does not check magic resistance. Giant eyeballs will not take aggressive action towards followers of Jiyva.
Tips and tricks
Take care to avoid its LOS when other monsters are around, or attempt to kill it first if possible. A scroll of fear should reliably prevent it from paralyzing you, while Cause Fear likely needs high Hexes skill to work reliably. A scroll of fog can be used to break LOS and temporarily halt its attacks. Airstrike at a decent power can often one-shot them, given that they are levitating monsters with low HP and no AC.
An amulet of stasis will confer immunity to its paralyzing attack.
