I start by saying this is not a thread about Tobi identity, neither a Tobito thread undercover, but a discussion about the reason why the old Tobi's mask had only 1 hole for his right eye:

1) He doesn't have enough chakra to use two active sharingan at the same time.
FALSE. He claims to be an Uchiha survivor and members of the clan never had serious chakra problems with 2 active sharingan. It's their Kekkei Genkai, they're supposed to use it to the full potential, it's in their bloodline. People like Itachi Uchiha could keep his sharingan active pretty much all the time. Also, I don't think a Rinnegan eye uses less chakra than a Sharigan to allow Tobi to finally see with another eye.

2) He wanted to see the world with his original eye, while leaving the replaced one covered.
VERY UNLIKELY. Yeah, Obito, but unless someone can justify the age paradox during the Kyuubi attack when Tobi fought Minato, I don't think it's any possibile to Tobi to be Obito and more importantly this be the reason why the mask has only 1 hole. If it was Madara, would it make more sense? I don't think so, his right eye doesn't seem any similiar to the ones Madara had.

3) He doesn't need the other one at all.
VERY POSSIBLE, but it doesn't really explain why? I mean, why should you cover the other eye? To make people think you can't Izanagi or what? Only fews know the existence and the effect of Izanagi or similiar abilities that require the sacrifice of 1 eye to overpower your opponent. His space-time techniques all come out from his right eye, so it implies the other eye is relatively useless.

4) It's just another way for Kishi to troll us.
VERY LIKELY. I mean, I'm here to talk about this, so he definatly got me. He just wants to create more drama around the Tobi's identity, which keeps people interested about the manga.

5) ? Atm I can't think of another reason why his mask had only 1 hole xd I maybe add something later, but if you have any suggestion or personal theory I will add it here. This is my first thread on NB and I hope the english used here is properly spelled and comprehensible. The all FALSE/VERY LIKELY thing is based on just my opinion, it's not stated anywhere else, so you can easily disagree with me.

The ride side of his face is Zetsu'ish so if he showed his other eye instead of seeing wrinkles you'd see White Zetsu and that would've been revealed too early. Didn't you wonder why when he finally revealed his second eye that the part of his face where his eye was, was completely black? Kishimoto was covering something there.

He could and might not be a Uchiha because he uses an MS technique without going MS but Itachi used his Tsyuomi without going MS on Kakashi before so who knows.

He could activate both sharingans if he wanted to, he had chakra chains on him thats how strong he is.

Kishi did that so he can trick us into thinking that he is Obito. Tobi and OBITO. Scrambled letters, eh? He wants us to be more eintertained.

Or maybe it's not some kind of conspiracy, and it's just a cosmetic design. To match the effect of his warping. It would be kind of silly for there to be two eye holes if only one of them does any warping. It would also mess up the design.

Just my thoughts. =]

I think he had only one eye showing b/c that eye controled his S/T travel. He also has never deactivated ANY sharigan (or rinnegan for that matter) so you can't rule out that he may have done it to concerve chakra. Not that he "needs" to, but at his "weakened" state, he might do it anyway to concerve chakra. OR MAYBE HE TOOK OBITO'S EYE. Who knows???
