There are a couple of possibilities (that fungalreason hinted at).
The cyclops has a base 11 attack before exp. If he's hitting with a frost brand and your thug has super-high defense, he could just miss every time and kill your thug with the AoE damage.
If the cyclops attack is really high and your thug's defense is too low, then he may just be blowing past the Eye Shield's parry, which is only 5. 20 attack versus 6 defense needs the defense (plus parry) DRN+6(+5) to be as high as the attack DRN+20. That's just 1 in 20 hits.

Please ignore my disinformation, sorry!
I've just tested this and looked at the debug output. Units actually hitting the Eye Shield do get to make an MR check (against 12, not 10) to avoid being blinded. Wearing penetration items with the Eye Shield does not affect its effectiveness.
