Without the Disillusionment spell, when you go near the Eye Chest, it will track your movement. As a result, the interact button to open the chest will not appear.
The only option left is to sneak up to the Eye Chest using the Disillusionment spell. When you do so, the eye on the chest will startle and start looking in all directions.
Do not worry; keep moving toward the chest, and when you are at interaction range, you will get the button prompt to open the Eye Chest.
