But again, why just the husk eyes and not the skin or anything else before he's absorbed? And what about Synthesis? Synthesis seems out of place since they both lead to the same destination of Shepard being indoctrinated. But like control, there's no husk skin, circuit boards, tubing or any other reaper feature. Just the eyes turn blue like TIM.
Here's my theory on this: Everything leading up to the console actually happened. Shepard survived the blast and crawled to his feet, went up through the beam and into the Citadel. At the console, Anderson is the rational side of his mind while TIM is the Reaper Indoctrination attempt, neither of them are really there, it's a hallucination brought about by the indoctrination. The rational mind overcomes the attempt and TIM is killed, but then the rational side also gives up from exhaustion or.. whatever other reason, symbolized by Anderson stating, "It's been an age since I just sat down..".
Now in a state of near death, Shepard struggles over to the console to activate the Crucible, but passes out along the way. Now unconscious and in a dream-like state, he appears in front of the Starchild. From now on, this is all in his head. The Starchild is another attempt to Indoctrinate, this time using the described ideal of viewing the Reaper with a superstitious awe. We think it's some God-like being because that's how Shepard is viewing it. Shepard couldn't possibly really be here as it's open to space.
At this point you either give in to the Indoctrination, choosing Synthesis or Control, or make your last push and awaken to hit that button and fire the Crucible, Destroying the Reapers. If they weren't trying to be cryptic, I think they might have interlaced two scenes at this point, with Shepard awakening to hit the button and the scene of him shooting the pipe.
So in reply to your post, the eyes are the gateway to the soul, in essence you've handed yourself over to the Reapers and they take control of you. The body then vanishes at this point as it's all in the mind anyway, your body is no longer your own, it's under their power, so it disappears along with the rest of you.
And to those who question why if you have a low EMS that you only get the Destroy option - it's because Shepard hasn't done as much work, hasn't made as much effort, so his mind is stronger than someone who has worked so hard to bring everything together. A high EMS signifies exhaustion, while a low EMS brings a stronger mind.
