The eye is a wonderfull literary tool which JRRT used to it's fullest. Something that is evil or scary enough doesnt need embodiment. If Sauron did indeed get the Ring and was corpreal enough because of it, the dark lord would have held sway over ME as a physical entity. The question would be would the Vala come in (again) to vanquish him? If the result of the first time was the breaking of EA, what would the result be a second time around?
