The type of replacement she received is the one Flight Leaders in the Gamilon Navy are entitled to by rank. She could have had something higher-tech (up to and including simply having her natural eye regenerated) because of her position in the royal family, but Amanda dislikes taking things she hasn't earned by merit, and her naval rank reflects her level of actual achievement in life.

(The reason it's behind that Breetai-ish plate is because the optic mount itself for Flight Leaders is pretty icky-looking. Think of that scene in The Terminator where he peels out one of his fake eyes to reveal the robotic one behind it.)

It can be presumed that, as she advances in rank, her optic will advance in sophistication.
