Narrative:
Aircraft X was inbound to eug from the east. Aircraft X checked in with the current ATIS and altitude. Aircraft X was issued vectors for the ILS runway 16R approach. Aircraft X was issued a turn to the localizer and clearance for the ILS at 2;800 the read back was correct. Aircraft X flew through the localizer; I issued a 140 heading to join final. Aircraft X started descending through 2;800 in a 2;800 MVA. I advised aircraft X it appeared they were descending through 2;800 and restated the 2;800 until established. Aircraft X replied; 'we're considered established'. I pointed out the airport and asked if aircraft X had the airport in sight. Aircraft X had the airport in sight and was cleared for the visual approach to runway 16R and switched to the tower. Brasher warning was not given.I should have turned aircraft X sooner to final so [that] the fly through didn't happen. In similar situation situations; I will reissue the altitude with the corrective heading to join final.
