^"just transplant new eyes and done?"

Are you for real?

Or better, Do you even know what an "eye transplant" really is?

There´s only one part of the eye that can be transplanted, and that´s the "cornea" (the clear part in front of the eye)

It is stated to be outright impossible to transplant whole eyes onto a person, due to the nature of the optic nerve, which is small, relatively 1.3 to 2.2 inches big and at its widest point, the part were it´s attached to the cranial cavity, only one-fifth of an inch wide. The optic nerve is made from more than one million tiny nerve fibres, like a optic cable, and once these nerve clusters are cut, they cannot be reconnected.

This is the reason to why it´s impossible to transplant a whole eye.

Even if a surgeon could implant an eye into the eye socket, the eye would still not be able to transmit signals to the brain due to the cut optic nerve and therefor not provide sight.

Rendering the eye completely blind.

So no, Arima´s problem can´t be cured by a mere operation, and it´s a legit excuse because there´s absolutely nothing that can fix it either, meaning that one day he will go completely blind and has to work with what he got.

And he have had a lot of time to compensate and cover up for this since the hints of when he first noticed this problem, was when he fought Lantern who managed to wound him on the exact same spot Kaneki did decades later, hinting that he have had this problem from his teenage years at least.

This was foreshadowed in true Ishida-fashion, all the way to Tokyo Ghoul Jack... so this is no asspull in the slightest.
