But, but, but... she can't.  According to my worn out copy of the AD&D 
Monster Manual, the Beholder needs that big eye.[1]

IMHO, it should be a tad bigger.  The visible part of the eye doesn't 
need to be, just that the eyeball needs to fill the eyesocket more tightly.

[1] I still have the first ed.  Maybe it has changed since I stopped caring.
