It's no secret that bats are often used for Creepy Awesome effect. They're tiny, rat-like and can fly—it's no wonder the Bat Out of Hell sends shivers down many a spine. But there's one more way to exaggerate the grotesque features of a bat.
They're already associated with blood-sucking and the undead, so why not go the extra mile and add a singular eye? Due to their body shape, this often gives off the illusion that you're being stared at by an eye with wings, and in some cases, the detached eye could be used for good potion-making. Expect animals like these to often be associated with villains or form Mooks, and in some cases, being literal Goddamned Bats.
These can become an Oculothorax when their body mass is more "eye" than "bat", but the line can be pretty unclear. Also a sub-trope of Cyclops.
If the character can summon/use more than one bat and they have dark powers, then it could be added to Barrage of Bats.
Compare Bloodsucking Bats for another inaccurate way of portraying bats. Contrast Blind Bats.
Don't be surprised if fans consider this an Ugly Cute.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Keese are a species of one-eyed bats with singular, glowing, orange eyes. When killed, they drop Keese eyes, which can be used to make potions that strengthen Link. Notably, in most games in the series, they have two eyes.

Dead Cells: A variation shows up as the Serenade Sword, which has one eye and moves via bat wings. While the hilt is styled to resemble a one-eyed bat, the object is still literally a sword.

Chantelise and Recettear have Eyebats, basically monsters that are eyeballs that fly on batwings, because they're set in the same universe.

One of the Gentry of The Multiversity is Intellectron, a giant bluish-black egg with one eye and bat wings, which, given how meta Grant Morrison usually is, may be a comment on DC Comics's obsession with Batman and occasional single-mindedness.

Played with with the Pokémon Woobat. It has a fluffy, circular body with a giant round circle in the middle of its face, which has a black, pupil-like center. However, what appears to be a single eye is in fact its nose; its actual eyes are concealed. The overall visual effect is one of a cyclops bat, even though the actual facial features involved are different on close inspection.

Gravity Falls has Ocuect lothorax-like "Eye-Bats" that can turn people to stone. There's also a separate type of creatures simply called "flying skulls" that look like fanged skulls with one slit-pupilled eye, bat wings and no lower jaw.
