Of course you're still overlooking the even more fundamental problem that even if there weren't a solid barrier between the brain and the eyes, the brain still couldn't see because brains don't have eyes.

What you are trying to explain doesn't just lack a mechanism. It is a conceptual confusion, as brains don't look. Only people do. Lacking a mechanism for this is as much of an issue as lacking a mechanism to get further north than the north pole.
