Eyes can tell a lot about a person - the fiery and creepy raven, the bright innocent Annabel Lee, etc. It was his way of telling about a person. A lot of poems, songs, stories, etc., use this method as well. Eyes have been described as 'windows to the soul', and are used as such in a lot of literature.

Eyes are creepy. That's really all there is to it. Poe's peoems and stories were meant to be creepy and describing eyes added a lot of creepyness to them. Also, in the Tell-Tale Heart, the fact that the guy would kill a nice old man for no reason other than his creepy eye really helped to convey that he was insane.

Lots of eyes tend to point to paranoid schizophrenic. Maybe he was one of those. Would explain a whoooole lotta things about Mr. Nevermore.
