Shisui used Kotoamatsukami on Itachi (Which explains why his Mangekyo needed a decade to recharge because he never used it on Fugaku or anyone else) to make Itachi believed he killed himself to the trauma would awaken Itachi's Mangekyo, then he ripped it out, gave it to Itachi and disappered.

There is 2 eyes. Danzo took 1 (destroyed in the battle with sasuke). Itachi had the other one. There is nothing to grant. Without his eyes he can't use Izanagi. He would be blind as a result. Unless he had a 3rd eye. Which he doesn't. Hence why it's not Shisui - based on those overt ideas. Whether he gave him the genjutsu or not. It doesn't explain, much. He was found dead, or perhaps he used his 4th eye (joking)on everyone?

But to be honest. If it was Shisui would be blind or perhaps he would've repaired his eyes in tobi's sharingan bank.
