I have been doing rescue work for 35 years and I've seen many eyes that were severely infected. Having one eye doesn't seem to affect their ability to get adopted, in fact people often feel they want to help cats with one eye or minus a leg. My neighbor just adopted a totally blind cat. I couldn't get her to take one of mine (I have way too many cats) but she adopted this blind cat from the vet's office! I still have a cat who is blind in one eye and another with chronic herpes infection. His eyes must be wiped out every day to keep them from being goopy. They are permanent cats at our home. There is no cure for the virus as antibiotics have been tried, but will not work on viral infections only bacterial infections.
