As stated in earlier posts, The Necromancer was discovered to be Saurobn and was driven out by the White Council.
Although the image of the lidless eye was used in the book, it was used as in a vision not a reality, at no point in the book is Sauron stated to be only and Eye. There is another thread concerning this particular point where proof is offered that Sauron did infact have physical shape during the War of the Ring.
