No, it's just a little less common than having same side dominance for eye and hand.

>in a population with 9.25% left-handedness and 36.53% left-eyedness, 34.43% of right-handers and 57.14% of left-handers are left-eyed.

So 5.29% are left eye + left hand dominant and 59.50% are right eye + right eye dominant, meaning there's concordance in 64.79% of people. The remaining 35.21% have different dominant sides for eye and hand (31.25% left eye + right hand, 3.96% right eye + left hand).

It can also change.

I was right-eye dominant, but developed a cataract in my right eye and even after getting an IOL I am left-eye dominant now.
