@Curse of Hatred though that may be the case Madara only possesses Infinite Tsukuyomi and Sharingan: Genjutsu in his jutsu list that are Genjutsu thus my statement stands that Madara would need eye contact with Itachi to free him.

@GreatestSin Although you do not remember it, this wiki that you are using has that stated so therefore that is invalid and Lance is correct Danzo used it without eye contact. As well as no they did not need just a few moments it took them over 2 minutes i just watched the episode.

@Lance yes Itachi had eye contact probably because he had to program his Genjutsu within Koto or something. Or probably he had to use his Genjutsu to force the crow to activate its Genjutsu. I honestly don't know however i know what this wiki states and what Kishi put on the technique description and eye contact is not a requirement it actually says its not a requirement.
