If it doesn't include eyes, are they going to be transplanted along with the brain. Call me sceptical, but I would suggest next year is a bit optimistic.

That's true but young-ish brains adapt those pathways pretty quickly... IIRC eye transplants / synthetic eyes are becoming science fact. Over the course of months / years the brain will rewire to the new perceptions.
The older you get the more fixed the pathways are though. This is why children can often recover to seemingly completely "normal" from a brain injury that would leave an adult disabled.
