Zaku eyes are actually retarded and only have vision worth that "eye" though, not the whole visor. At least that's what I remember from the Zeta Zaku.

That was less because monoeye and more because Zaku II heads weren't made for 360° vision cockpits. IIRC only the Alex had one of these in the OYW.

Aesthetics. They actually not only have more than two cameras, the eyes usually aren't even the main camera. It's that window above the V-Fin on everything except the ZZ.

Gundams are actually triclops.

so then the eyes on gundams are essentially nothing more than head lights?

Same reason humans have two eyes, obviously.

No they are secondary cameras and sensors

Because the MC's robot must look the most human and heroic, unless you're actively trying to go against that expectation.

That wouldn't work. The pilot is still viewing via a 2d screen, and you only need one camera for range-finding anyway.
Barbatos might actually feed stereoscopic data to the pilot, maybe the Psyco Gundams, but not regular mobile suits.

>Depth perception.

Animals need two eyes for depth perception because that is how they evolved, but you can still have depth perception with one eye/camera lens if made correctly you know.

MS have compound camera eyes anyway. The Zaku's mono sensor is a cluster of various sensors crammed into a pleasing "eye" piece.

GMs have eyes under the visor. The GM and Heavy Gundam's designs suggests that the lack of a visor on the Gundam is actually just an oversight during its design phase, but the look was nice so it stuck around.

Depends on the show. ZZ had the eyes be the camera inside the cockpot while 08th had the eye be some scanner device.
