It spoils the view in more ways than one? (7)

I believe the answer is:

eyesore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it spoils the' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'view in more ways than one?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'view' could be 'eyes' (eyes is a kind of view) and 'eyes' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ore' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "Ugly item" , "Ugly and offensive sight" , "A monstrous carbuncle" , "It's offensively ugly" , "Hideous building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
