かぶる
かぶる simply means 'to put on (headwear)'; 目深にかぶる specifically means to wear it pulled down over the eyes.
深ふかくかぶる
深くかぶる means 'to wear deeply' (e.g., a hat pulled down), but 目深に emphasizes covering the eyes.

Etymology

Compound of 目深 (mabuka, 'deep over the eyes') + に (adverbial particle) + かぶる (kaburu, 'to put on headwear'). 目深 itself is from 目 (me, 'eye') + 深 (fuka, 'deep').
