* The Courier from ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'' has the option to get these by means of the Optics Enhancer, an implant surgically placed within your eye and boosts your perception stat by one. One of the game's many mods, Project Nevada, expands upon this by offering Bionic Eyes that give the player night vision and other filters.

* Quite a bit of the eye customization options in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' can give your PlayerCharacter this look. [[spoiler: This could be seen as foreshadowing for the true nature of your character, as well as the rest of humanity in NLA.]]

* Common in the ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' game 'verse. To the point where there are several brands, with Zeiss[[note]]A RealLife company known for making rifle scopes and other optical equipment[[/note]] being the state of the art for cyber-eyes.

* ''WebComic/GirlGenius'': The Corbettite monk/cook/general Vadaxxus has a red-glass-and-brass prosthetic eye.

** This is also true in ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', where X's irises are drawn like camera shutters. Strangely, the other robot characters have normal-looking eyes.

*** In "Broken Pieces", [[spoiler:Seven of Nine's]] eyes turn green and light up with Borg graphics when she becomes the Artifact's Queen.

*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekPicardS1E06TheImpossibleBox The Impossible Box]]", we get a brief glimpse of what the world looks like through Hugh's eyes, and his field of vision is peppered with [[https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1234274723241943042 green Borg graphics.]]

** The Borg are equipped with ocular implants. Most drones have cybernetic hardware covering (or replacing) one eye (or, occasionally, both). Seven of Nine's eyes look normal, but she retains the ability to see things normal humans cannot.

* The Borg in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' are also mentioned to have ocular implants. Not a stretch, considering that most of them have some kind of cybernetic hardware covering (or replacing) one eye (or, occasionally, both). Seven of Nine's eyes look normal, but she retains the ability to see things normal humans can't.
** Geordi La Forge usually has a visor, but future or alternate versions of him have high-tech prosthetic eyes; sometimes brown like the actor, sometimes not. The 'prime' Geordi finally gets 'em in ''First Contact'' (see Film.)

* The Cyclopes in ''Film/TheCityOfLostChildren''.

* Common in the ''Literature/RevelationSpaceSeries'' by Creator/AlastairReynolds. The Ultranauts (crews of the starships) frequently adopt these, with their quality varying greatly. [[{{Jerkass}} Dan Sylveste]] has artificial eyes which were locally made on a planet with little advanced technology, so his vision is ''terrible'', like a public CCTV feed. Captain John Brannigan has red, multifaceted cameras where his eyes should be, though by that point he looks more machine than a man.
* On the cover of the book ''Extras'', the fourth book of the ''Literature/{{Uglies}}'' trilogy; the characters have "eyescreens," which is like permanent internet interface embedded in the eye that can be shut off at will.

* One character in the Literature/TimeWars books loses an eye and gets a bionic replacement.
* In ''Literature/SpeakerForTheDead'', Olhado lost his sight when he was young. Technology was advanced enough to replace his eyes with metal ones, which allowed him to videotape everything he saw and play it back in slow motion. However, he only used one functional replacement; he gave up binocular vision to have one of the eyes be a jack that he could use to upload the video of his father's abuse of his siblings. Olhado, by the way, is supposed to be a nickname for "The Guy With The Eyes"; his actual name is Lauro Sulémão Ribeira von Hesse.
* Literature/HonorHarrington gets one after the second book in the series. It includes nifty features like a zoom function and night vision but because the input doesn't ''quite'' match the remaining organic eye there's always a sense of something off. She ponders if having the other eye replaced would change that but isn't interested experimenting to find out. It does help her out during [[spoiler:the duel with Denver Summervale]], as she's able to zoom in on his face and watch for twitches.
* In ''Literature/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 ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures'' Lady Sallivera Darktail's right eye is prosthetic thanks to her ex-husband's abuse, she can make it look like a natural eye of any color but halfway through "Captive" she turns off the camouflage, so it looks like a black camera lens, to signify that she's no longer going to act like it didn't happen.
* In ''Literature/TheCompanyNovels'', Mrs. Corvey, who appears in the novellas set in the Victorian era, started life in poverty and lost her eyesight working as a child in a pin factory. She was working as a child prostitute when approached by a member of the Company's front organization the Gentleman's Speculative Society. In exchange for working for them, she was promised and given a better life and had her nonfunctional eyes replaced with electronic once which allow her to see perfectly and have telescopic functions and night vision built in.
* Orion in Literature/HeroesOfOlympus is depicted as having cybernetic eyes replacing [[ShownTheirWork the ones he lost]] and went to Hephaestus to get replaced.

* ''Series/BlackMirror'' uses this in a couple of episodes.

* In ''Series/BabylonFive'' G'Kar gets a replacement eye for the one he lost during his captivity on Centauri Prime. Unfortunately, the only iris color that was in stock was blue, which is completely mismatched with the deep red color of his remaining eye. The way this one works is a wireless connection between the prosthetic eye and an implant in the vision center of his brain, which the doctor points out when explaining it may get a little disorienting when he takes the eye out for regular cleaning. G'Kar actually thinks this is cool, and has fun leaving his eye in rooms as a hidden camera.
* The Silicates of ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' have eyes that look like targeting reticules - though the Silicates are all robot, just realistic looking ones.
* In ''Series/OrphanBlack'', [[spoiler: Rachel]] gets one of these to replace her left eye after [[EyeScream a pencil got shot into it]].
* In ''Series/CenturyCity'', a hopeful baseball player has a bionic eye and has to appeal in court in order for him to play on the grounds that bionics give an unfair advantage to a player.
* In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Centipede soldiers and agents are given a single bionic eye, allowing them to [[XRayVision see through walls when their eyes are shut]] and receive incoming orders as text. It also allows the person in control to watch what they see and [[YouHaveFailedMe terminate them if they fail]], [[CyanidePill are captured]], [[ExplosiveLeash or try to rebel]].

* Matrix, Enzo's adult form in ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'' season 3, after he lost an eye to an opponent in a fighting game, replaces it with a [[SupernaturalGoldEyes gold optic]] with a stylized M. When he gets angry, it rolls and the M on the other side [[RedEyesTakeWarning glows red]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Dick Knubbler, sound engineer for Dethklok, has a pair of robotic eyes after his real eyes were literally exploded by [[ThePowerOfRock the power of the band's rocking]]. Each eye can move independently, like a chameleon.

** The Combat {{Cyborg}}s introduced in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''. Their eyes were amongst the many body parts replaced with cybernetic implants. Close-ups of their eyes reveal camera lenses that rotate when they're using their SuperSenses.
** [[spoiler:Nanoha]] ends up getting their right eye replaced with a cybernetic implant in the epilogue of ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation Detonation]]'' after the original was blinded from an explosion.

** [[spoiler:Nanoha herself]] ends up getting their right eye replaced with a cybernetic implant in the epilogue of ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation Detonation]]'' after the original was blinded from an explosion.

* ''Comicbook/JudgeDredd'' has bionic eyes, given to him during the "City of the Damned" story arc after his real ones were ripped out of their sockets by a zombie version of himself from the future. Dredd notes that the new eyes give him 20:20 '''night''' vision, enhanced clarity over distance, and a 50% reduction in blinking time. He praises the efficiency of his new eyes after he gets them, and says that his one regret is that he never got them sooner. Truth be told though, you'll probably be hard-pressed to ever find another Dredd story where any of these improved eye functions become useful to him. He's a crack marksman regardless, but it's unclear how much of this is simply due to Dredd's skills with the Lawgiver and his much improved eyesight. Probably both. However, in the ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' story ''The Dead Man'', [[spoiler: one of the earliest tip-offs to the reader revealing that the titular disfigured character is actually Dredd is the fact that his eyes "don't look natural".]] It also crops up in another story, where a group of perps use an EMP device. Unsurprisingly, Dredd is BlindWithoutEm.

If only [[FashionableAsymmetry one eye]] is cybernetic, it is a form of EyepatchOfPower.

* [[MadScientist Dr. N. Gin]] of the ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' series has a mechanical eye as part of the life support system in his head ''crafted from a still-live rocket''.
