Can anyone tell me what the "eye" icon means in the status bar? :-\

It is smart stay.

What is that and is that the reason my battery is draining quicker than usual?

It is where your phone screen will stay on as long as your eyes are trained on the screen. I do not know if it is affecting your battery or not.

The "eye" icon means that you should "look" through the forums for all the posts that already discuss this topic.

Unless Smart Stay is keeping your screen on when it shouldn't (which is unlikely, since it barely seems to have any success keeping the screen ON when it should), it's probably not responsible for any sudden decrease in battery life.
There are a ton of posts (hint, hint) about what is good/bad battery life, and how to track what might be causing battery issues, and what information to provide if you'd like help with a strange battery drain.
