The human eye is an ENORMOUSLY complicated device. It could not function without every part of the eye being exactly how it is. The lens, the fluid, the rods and cones, the optic nerve -- it all has to work together perfectly for us to be able to see. If only one of these (say, an optic nerve) mutated in, it would not survive because ONLY an optic nerve doesn't help anybody. And the chances of an entire eyeball just 'appearing' out of a mutation is enormously small.
This is, of course, assuming that the various parts of the eyes didn't serve other functions before evolving to present day state. For example, the complex bone structure in our inner ears was originally a support for the gill structures (theoretically... it appears to be that in an extremely young fetus). Sometimes organs develop into new things along the way. Who knows, maybe the structures near the gills could sense vibrations in the water, and became more sensitive as it became necessary for survival. It's really hard to tell.
We have so few answers to our questions that it's hard to say evolution is right (or wrong), or that creation is either. Personally, I tend to believe a little of both... but I won't get into that right now.

Sorry, ignore that, I'm an idiot. Didn't notice you were replying to something.

Isn't this kind of like trying to sue someone selling hard drives because Windows isn't installed on them?
"What possible use could someone have with a NAKED hard drive! By Gods! What is this, some crazy Linux cult?!!?"
Yeah...
