This is certainly how I understand it to work. I am sure I can
remember reading somewhere a statement about how the mage having paid
essence (and lost magic) for the new eyes, they are in effect his natural
eyes. This includes any and all enhancements that the eyes contain, they can
increased the essence cost after all. I can not tell you where I read it,
but it was most likely SR1or2
or G1or2.
