I have 2 bronze cory that don't have 1 eye and they are fine.

I'd say it'll be okay, call it eye-eye or something.
I have a cory with abit of a 'funny' mouth so we decided to name it "mouth" from the goonies, lol.

albino variations don't tend to have very good eyesight, so it may not really matter to the fish if it doesnt have eyes. do you know if its a new wound? because that may become infected and should be taken care of if its new because it can affect the brain.
