Why do we use teeth everywhere singular except in oblique case but here we use eyes plural eventhough it is not oblique case???

Singular/plural and direct/oblique are independent of each other.

The two words follow different patterns for forming their various declensions.
The direct singular, direct plural, and oblique singular of "tooth" is the same word "दाँत". The oblique plural is "दाँतों". Check out "दाँत" on Wiktionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/दाँत
The direct and oblique singular of "eye" is "आँख". But unlike "tooth", there is a separate form for the direct plural, "आँखें" and yet another for the oblique plural, "आँखों". Likewise, check it out on Wiktionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/आँख
