History Main / ElectronicEyes

* In a strange aversion of nearly every other aspect of this trope ''JudgeDredd'' has Bionic Eyes, given to him after his real ones were ripped out of their sockets by a zombie version of himself from the future. In keeping with the Dredd ethos of him just being a regular human though (albeit at the peak of his abilites, in the same manner as Batman) they give him no special powers, apart from standard 20:20 vision. As you never see his face either, you don't even know if they look different, so essentially they've had no functional impact on the character or story.

* [[BigBad Haazen]] from ''ComicBook/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' had one mechanical eye that was visibly artificial and [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowed bright red]]. His other eye seemed to be simply an empty socket, leading one to wonder [[FridgeLogic why he didn't get it replaced too]].

* Later on in the ''[[StarTrekTheNextGeneration Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' continuity, Geordi [=LaForge=] gets ocular implants to replace his hideous visor thing.
** Probably because LeVarBurton HATED the visor prop.

* The Silicates of ''SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' have eyes that look like targetting reticules.

** Your vision only looks any good because your brain edits out the worst bits... the blind spots, the poorly focussed regions, the bits around the edge that are more sensitive to light and movement than detail, etc etc, and fills in the gaps with what it expects to be there. Displaying the actual output of your eyes on screen would probably look far worse than grainy low-res video.
** You are giving human eyes far too little credit. No amount of brain post-processing would make a low resolution video such as in robocop into what people normally see. Otherwise myopics wouldn't need glasses, their brain would automagically sharpen everything.

* On the cover of the book ''Extras'', the fourth book of the {{Uglies}} trilogy; the characters have "eyescreens", which is like permanent internet interface embedded in the eye that can be shut off at will.

* Enzo's adult form in ''ReBoot'', after he lost his eye to an opponent in a fighting game.

* Among the many cybernetic implants the Imperium uses in ''Warhammer40000'' "augmetic optics" are quite common. ''GauntsGhosts'' features an electronic-eyed soldier who's a valuable reconnaissance asset as his range of vision extends across the electromagnetic spectrum.

See also the supertropes {{Cyborg}} and EyeTropes. When the person with these eyes dies, expect to see the LightsOffTheirEyes. See GlassEye for the more fantastical version.

* Replace "electronic" with "magical" and you have Mad-Eye Moody's fake eye in ''HarryPotter''. It replaces an eye (his right in the books and his left in [[Film/HarryPotter the movies]]) which he presumably lost during the First Wizarding War. It can rotate 360 degrees and has XRayVision, meaning he can literally see out the back of his head. In the movies, it additionally has a zoom function. It is unknown whether magical eyes like this are the standard replacement for lost eyes in the PotterVerse or if the device is a unique invention used only by Moody.

* Used rather bizarrely to avoid an ArtifactTitle for ''[[GoldenEye GoldenEye]]: Rogue Agent''.

* In ''MassEffect2'', The Illusive Man's eyes are notable for being obviously artificial. The protagonist, Commander Shepard, is also mentioned as having implants to aid with targeting and so forth (along with various other body modifications).

* In ''{{Babylon 5}}'' G'Kar gets a replacement eye for the one he lost during his captivity on Centauri Prime. Unfortunately, the only color that was in stock was blue, which completely [[BoatLights mismatched with the deep red color of his remaining eye]].

* Cortana from the ''{{Halo}}'' series. She's an AI with a holographic representation, thus her entire appearence is "electronic".

* The ''DeusEx'' series features these. The trailer for the upcoming ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution'' zooms in on one of the protagonist's eyes, pictured.

* In QuantumGravity, Lila Black, {{Cyborg}}, has had her eyes replaced along with many other body parts. THey are perfect mirrors because of this, which pushes her into the UncannyValley for some characters.

* In ''{{Babylon 5}}'' Dr Franklin supplies one to [[spoiler:Narn ambassador G'kar]] after [[spoiler:the Centauri emperor orders that G'kar lose an eye]].
