Real eyes don't need a mechanic and don't stop working due to Surge.
There is a maintenance free mitigator (can't recall the numbers).
He could opt for ruggedised Surge immune eyes.
Then it would be Feature: eyes are cybernetic but you'd never know without surgical exam...

But you could require additional problems, eg they're like permanently watching TV; everything is surreal (Delusion: I'm not really here, -5+). Physical activity is penalised in combat only, -1 to skills, [-3?].
