I think it just strained all of Sasuke's abilities when he was traveling dimensions. In Madara's case not only did he have stolen Senjutsu and was essentially in sage mode, but he was completely fresh, not strained at all. So he was able to use his techs regardless of the physical eyes being there, although some techs DO require eyes, as he could not do Limbo or chibaku tensei without eyes.
