Ooh more fuel! So if he obviously is looking different from what we saw of him in game then something's amiss. It's extremely unlikely that he healed the eye, since we see him immediatly upon is revival with both of 'em. Therefor he lost it sometime after we last saw him… in the level Shiver.
This could be taken in a couple of ways. Perhaps when he was magicking himself away upon Shiver's death he left something behind. More likely is that he created a powerful double of himself and needed to provide a vital body part to complete the spell. His eye served this purpose… Any other ideas?
As for the apple the only mythological ties I can think of is the apple of Discord (from which my name comes from). This was tossed by the goddess Eris (goddess of chaos in the greek mythology) and pretty much sparked the Trojan war (Paris judged the different goddesses for their beauty with the apple a prize). Kallisti (meaning for the prettiest one) was the inscription upon it. This golden apple has pretty much come to mean chaos, discord and individuality (especially after it was made popular in the masterpiece of conspiracy novels, the Illuminatus! trilogy), things which the Deciever seems to emdody.
