I am having some trouble following this discussion. How do you think
cybereyes work? They are explicitly permitted, but they _do_
translate light into electronic impulses.

The text (SR2, p.130) explicitly says that any sort of cybereyes which
the mage paid essence for counts as his own eyes for the purpose of
spellcasting. You sammis should be glad that it says so: the same
principle is what prevents a transform spell from transforming only
the flesh and leaving the cyberwear unchanged (ewwww, gross!).
