History Main / ElectronicEyes

** The Combat {{Cyborg}}s introduced in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''. Their eyes were among 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. It's unknown if it grants them any enhanced sight, though it is visually identical to the original (or at least similar enough that no {{Muggle}} on Earth would be able to tell the difference).
* In ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' (all versions) one of the main characters, Batou, has very obvious artificial eyes. In ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' they are referred to as "ranger eyes," after the eyes used by the ranger unit he belonged to when he was in the military. Not much is revealed of their capabilities. These eyes look opaque and are unmoving, and there is no eyelid present, so they always look exactly the same.
** They are shown to include night vision, a powerful zoom, limited ability to detect thermoptic camouflage and in the final episode of ''2nd Gig'' [[spoiler:a visual TrustPassword when a corrupt official is silly enough to send Rangers after a former Ranger.]]
** In ''Stand Alone Complex'', Borma has a similar pair of eyes, except they are red. Nothing known about their capabilities. Saito's left eye is his cybernetic "Hawkeye", which has a super powerful scoping ability and he can access satellites to zoom in on his targets to help with his sniping. When not used, it remains closed, looking akin to an eye patch.
*** In the Stand Alone Complex version these are implied to be fairly common, though with less conspicuous versions than Batou and Borma. The Major (being a full body cyborg) has them, as does the minister in the very first episode.
* All the Hooba siblings from ''Manga/PrincessResurrection'' have them, though they are android, not cyborg.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' star Spike Spiegel's right eye is artificial, as shown in a flashback in "Sympathy for the Devil." It functions practically identically to a natural eye, with no nifty technological tricks. The only sign of its falseness is the fact that it's a slightly different shade of brown than his real eye.

* In ''Manga/Cyborg009'', 003's SuperSenses come from her being turned into a Cyborg. Her electronic eyes are shown in quite the detail in the 2012 movie.

* ''Manga/GokuMidnightEye'' stars private investigator Goku Furinji whose sacrificed left eye is replaced by a mysterious benefactor with an electronic one that obeys his mental commands providing among other things x-ray vision, night vision, targeting, thermal vision, GPS, visual chemical analysis and protection from hypnosis but can also access and command virtually anything on the planet or in orbit controlled by computer. Which leaves his cyberpunk noir future in his hands. And of the two toys he was given that one wasn't even the magical one.

* ''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 or his superhuman 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.

* Police Captain Wiggins in ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}: Devil's Legacy'' has a cybernetic eye. We never see how this works in detail, but the eye can be attuned to a person's physiology to function as a lie detector (much the same way as a real lie detector works). It’s quite useful in questioning suspects. However, apparently he often prefers to rely on his intelligence and intuition rather than his built-in lie detector. He's probably aware that a good liar can beat a lie detector.
* ComicBook/XMen member ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} lost her original eyes to her opponent Slaymaster, and had them replaced by Spiral with bionic ones that instantly adjusted to light — and broadcast everything to Mojoworld. She lost those (having them replaced with normal eyes) and Kwannon gained them when [[FreakyFriday they had their body swap]].
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': H'Elgn is able to design an electronic eye to replace one of the Daxamite's missing eyes. It doesn't have the potential powers of a natural Daxamite eye (Daxamites are descended from Kryptonian colonists) but it allows her to see.

* In “[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26203810/ 14,000,606]]”, after Peter Parker loses his left eye and arm due to him being the one to destroy Thanos with the Snap rather than Tony (''Film/AvengersEndgame''), Thor gives Peter his own artificial eye as a ‘reward’ for the two of them being the ones to vanquish Thanos (Thor plans to get a new eye from Rocket later).

[[folder:Films — Animated]]

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* ''Franchise/{{Robocop}}'' says his eyes are "the best money can buy"; they are somehow superior to human vision, despite having visibly poor screen-resolution RoboCam. The built-in HUD featuring target identification, police database interface, system status readouts, and recording capability is a considerable upgrade over the original human eyes. (it's not in his faceplate: the readouts persist even after he's taken it off)
* In ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' Blind Mag, born blind but given the ability to see by [=GeneCo=] at the price of having to sing for the [=GeneCo=] Opera. [[spoiler:Eventually she is marked for repossession, but before it can happen she removes the eyes herself at the end of her final performance for [=GeneCo=]. She is of course, killed for her defiance.]]
* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' films after ''[[Film/StarTrekGenerations Generations]]'', Geordi [=LaForge=] replaced his VISOR with streamlined ocular implants[[note]][=LeVar=] Burton did not like wearing the VISOR prop, which was very tight and gave him excruciating headaches[[/note]]. From what we see in ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact First Contact]]'', the implants are far superior to the VISOR, as he is actually able to see people in normal colors, as opposed to rainbow shapes. It is unknown if he can still tell when people are lying. Given that during the TV series Geordi specifically declined ocular implants because they'd give him inferior vision to his VISOR, most likely the ones developed by the time of ''First Contact'' could see everything his VISOR could and more.
* In ''Film/CubeZero'', the villains's leader Jax lost one of his eyes due a mechanical mishap and had it replaced with a robotic one. It's only a RedRightHand however and he never uses it for superhuman feats.

* ''Film/GhostInTheShell''. After his eyes get damaged in a bomb explosion, Batou gets the familiar eyes we know from the anime, rejecting the more discreet versions used by the Major as he's MarriedToTheJob, and so doesn't see the point in fitting in with society.
* ''Film/{{Dredd}}''. The Clan Techie has cybernetic eyes he uses when he's working with computers. The area around them looks pretty badly irritated, and to make matters worse it's later shown that Ma-Ma [[EyeScream gouged his eyes out]] with her thumbs before the surgery.
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': [[spoiler: After Thor lost his right eye in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', Rocket Racoon gives him a cybernetic eye as a replacement, albeit one with a mismatched color.]]

* The character Roddy from ''Film/Deathwatch1980'' has voluntarily had cameras and transmitters implanted behind his eyes, allowing everything he sees to be recorded without the giveaway prescence of a camera.
* In the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/NoTimeToDie'', cybernetic eyes have become a thing for one-eyed people apparently. Spectre leader Blofeld uses his and its network to [[MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll run his organization from his cell]], and his henchman Primo/"Cyclops" (as Bond nicknames him) also has one (which kills him when Bond fries it with his {{EMP}} watch in the FinalBattle). Blofeld's is later taken away by Q so he can analyze images from the eye's network.

* The ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' universe has "Tleilaxu eyes": metal eyes that the Bene Tleilax claimed improved on the originals. The Duncan Idaho ghola Hayt was given them by his Tleilaxu creators. They were sometime bought to replace the eyes lost due to attacks by stone burners (indeed, when a stone burner goes off in ''Dune Messiah'', someone comments, "The Tleilaxu will sell many eyes here"). Some Fremen believed that they enslaved their user.
* Though it functions on magic instead of cybernetics, Mad-Eye Moody's prosthetic eye in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' looks weird and has enhanced capabilities, like being able to spin in its socket and look in any direction, even ''behind him''.

* In the ''Literature/MaximumRide'' series, this is how [[DemolitionsExpert Iggy]] was blinded--the {{Mad Scientist}}s at the School were trying to [[PlayingWithSyringes replace his eyes with robotic eyes]] and massively screwed up.
* 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.
* ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures'': Lady Sallivera Darktail's right eye is a 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Cyber eyes are a pretty common implant in Creator/WilliamGibson's ''Literature/SprawlTrilogy'', both for correcting bad vision and for vanity. Simstim stars always have them as they're used for the 'stim visual feed.

* 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 pirate captain in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet "The Pirate Planet"]] has a bionic headset which includes a fluorescent eyepiece as a high-tech PirateEyepatch.
** Tricky, the supposed android from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS"]], is actually just a human cyborg with prosthetic replacements for his eyes.

* In ''Series/OrphanBlack'', [[spoiler: Rachel]] gets one of these to replace her left eye after [[EyeScream a pencil got shot into it]].

** In the TV movie ''The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman'', Steve Austin's long lost son also gets a bionic eye. This eye doesn't have a zoom lens or infrared vision; instead, it has a [[EyeBeam laser]].
* The Silicates of ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' have eyes that look like targeting reticules - though the Silicates are all robot, just realistic looking ones.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek''
** 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 them in ''Star Trek: First Contact'' (see Film.)
** 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.[[note]]She had a Borg ocular implant in place of one eye, which was replaced with [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/File:Ocular_implant.jpg a more "normal-looking" version]] by ''Voyager'''s EMH.[[/note]]

*** 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 symbols.]]

* Hawkeye from "Series/{{Terrahawks}}" has computer-enhanced vision due to a childhood accident, hence his nickname.

* Common in the ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' game 'verse. To the point where there are several brands, with Zeiss[[note]]A RealLife [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss_AG company]] known for making camera lenses, rifle scopes, and other optical equipment[[/note]] being the state of the art for cyber-eyes.
* Present in ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}} 2020'' too. No brands mentioned in the main rulebook, but one piece of artwork features two eyes with ''Nikkor''[[note]]The brand used by the (RealLife) Nikon company for its lenses[[/note]] on them, and one caption mentions Kiroshis as the brand one lady uses.
* Among the many cybernetic implants the Imperium uses in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' "augmetic optics" are quite common. ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' features an electronic-eyed soldier who's a valuable reconnaissance asset as his range of vision extends across the electromagnetic spectrum.
** Ocular augments in the Imperium can range from the comparitively cheap (yet still far beyond anything available yet in RealLife) kind mentioned above to implants that are nearly indistinguishable at first glance from natural eyes.
** Particularly notable is Commissar Yarrick's "Baleful Eye", which [[EyeBeams shoots lasers]]. Why did he get an eye that shoot lasers? Because [[AscendedMeme Yarrick once heard a rumor that]] [[MemeticBadass he could kill you by glaring.]]
** Artifical eyes are surprisingly common in ork society; this is mainly due to either the [[MadDoctor local painboy]] deciding to replace some unfortunate ork boy's eye in the middle of stitching their arm back on, the [[MadScientist local mekboy]] accidently cobbling together a surplus of them while hammering together a new shoota, the ork boy actually wanting the crude implant in his skull because ork eyes are notoriously bad at seeing [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy (hence the ork's infamous terrible accuracy)]] or most likely a [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs combination of all three]].

* Used to avoid an ArtifactTitle for the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' game ''VideoGame/GoldenEyeRogueAgent''. [=GoldenEye=] has a cybernetic eye upgraded with powers over the course of the game, with powers like seeing through walls and hacking electronics.

** The Illusive Man's eyes are notable for being obviously artificial. The tie-in comic, ''Mass Effect: Evolution'', reveals where he got them: [[spoiler:a Reaper artifact on Shanxi]]. Notably, only ''one'' character ever mentions the Illusive Man's unusual eyes: Joker, in an off-hand remark about TIM's "freaky eyes" in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. [[spoiler:These are most likely the vector through which the Reapers were able to indoctrinate him]].

** Zaeed Massani is a more subdued example--he has a cybernetic prosthetic eye to replace the one he (probably) lost when [[spoiler:he was shot in the head]]. Said prosthesis is grey, while his real eye is green.
* The ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' series features these. One of the characters lampshades the fact that JC wears his glasses everywhere, and he responds by saying "My vision is augmented." Apart from a retina implant which allows seeing in dark areas, you can find an augmentation which allows you to see in infrared, and even through walls.
** ''[[VideoGame/TwentyTwentySeven 2027]]'' features these as an augmentation upgrade.
* ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' features [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Mechanical_augmentation?file=RetinalProsthesis.png these.]] You can upgrade them to allow you to see through walls, tell when an enemy will stop looking for you, and keep you safe from flashbangs.
** Also included are a pair of delightful built-in sunglasses.
* Major “EZ” Wheeler, the main charatcer of ''VideoGame/RTXRedRock'' lost his left eye during combat and had it replaced with an artificial one that allows him to see in four different vision modes.

* In ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the original VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'s eyes behave like the above examples for ''[=MM8=]'' and the Archie comics. In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX2KNyaoNV4 reveal trailer,]] they're LCD screens that are shown to flicker on after he powers up and then flash erratically after he's sustained damage.

** Robotics on Goonstation and similar has standard cybernetic eyes that function like perfectly normal, mundane biological eyes, meant for restoring vision to those who have lost their original eye. There are also various prosthetic eyes that more in-line with other versions of this trope and can allow people to see through walls, determine the exact composition of chemical mixes, indicate the health of people in sight, or even [[EyeBeams shoot lasers!]]
* Garrett, from ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'', has a prominent {{Steampunk}} [[http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Mechanical_Eye prosthetic eye]] from the second game onward. It allows him to zoom in, as well as see through a special remote camera that can be tossed around corners. In one cutscene, it is shown that the eye apparently requires regular removal and maintenance, at least refilling with some fluid.

* The second ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' game's protagonist appears to have these as part of his cybernetic enhancements, giving him the FanNickname of "Goggles".
** The first ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' game doesn't make a big deal of it (when the Hacker wakes up from cryogenic suspension at the beginning of the game's intro sequence, his eyes look normal), but given that Hacker can literally turn on eyes in the back of his head and has an option for enabling nightvision, his vision is clearly more cybernetic than it used to be.
* In ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', ghosts can get an upgrade called "Ocular Implants," increasing their sight radius. It is actually quite useful as it allows the ghost to call in nuke strikes from outside the blast radius.
* An NPC in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', Gadon Thek, apparently has a pair of these, although they don't look too different from normal eyes. You can even ask him about his "freaky eyes."
* Peacock, from ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'', possesses an unusual version of these. Her eyes (on her face) are cartoony-looking BlackBeadEyes, but in reality just empty sockets. Instead, she has three large artificial eyes attached to each of her [[ArtificialLimbs mechanical arms]]. She takes this further with the ability to summon an indefinite amount of these eyes; they are all free-floating and she can see out of every single one, giving her a massive field of vision. On top of that, they can all [[BeamSpam shoot lasers]].

* [[MadScientist Dr. N. Gin]] of the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' series has a mechanical eye as part of the life support system in his head ''crafted from a still-live rocket''.
** In some games, it looks more like a MadEye. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Which also fits.]]

** Kano has a cybernetic eye grafted to the left side of his face as part of his metal plate after he lost his real eye in a battle with Jax. In some games it can emit EyeBeams.

* In ''VideoGame/CivilizationBeyondEarth'' all leaders, such as [[http://www.gamereactor.dk/media/21/krigerigskecivilization_1242104b.jpg?sid=e3cc6088e80a78d186b916ec8cce82b4 Vadim Kozlov]], have their eyes replaced by glowing, golden electronic ones when they have high [[{{Cyborg}} Supremacy]] affinity with it being more noticeable for some than others. The effect is more than a little unsettling and badass at the same time.
* Rhys, one of the two protagonists of ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'', has an Echo implant in his left eye, distinguishable from his natural brown by its bright blue colour. It allows him to scan objects and people to find out more information about them, and glows when he does so. In the present time his implant is yellow due to the fact that [[spoiler:in the final episode, he tears out the chip in the eye through it's pupil to get rid of the Handsome Jack AI]].

* In the Japanese campaign of ''VideoGame/RedAlert3'', a cutscene [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ackerman.jpg reveals]] [[spoiler:President Howard T. Ackerman]]'s eyes are actually cameras.
* Quite a bit of the eye customization options in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' can give yo ur 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.]]
* Juri Han in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' had her eye gouged out by Shadoloo, and S.I.N. replaced it with a cybernetic one, which contains a miniature Feng Shui Engine that stores energy and powers her moves. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', M. Bison [[EyeScream rips out her eye]] to study it, so she goes back to the abandoned S.I.N. lab to find a replacement. Her "new" eye is a prototype, and unlike the one in "IV" that was designed to look like a human eye, this one looks like a robotic eye.

* Pretty much every character in ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' has a pair of those. You can tell which ones either by an unusually colored iris (like a purple or a red one), or when they glow blue when the character is using the net. Special mentions go to River, who has a very crude-looking prosthetic eye and the girl group Us Cracks, who are sponsored by a brand called "Kiroshi Optics", so they sport exotic-looking eye cyberware.

* Kimiko in ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'' acquired one of these after the Hob storyline.
* Robert of ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' has some with [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20110621.html special features]] unfortunately they are a [[BlackEyesOfEvil little unsettling to look at]].
** The black-eyes thing has now been averted. Turned out his eyes always had the ability to change their appearance to perfectly mimic natural eyes, the surgeon who installed them just forgot to turn on that functionality. As a bonus, he can now actively change their appearance just by thinking about it.
* Schtein of ''Webcomic/StringTheory2009'' has replacement eyes after an accident, unfortunately they only work in black and white, some thing that causes a problem later.

* Pops up in a few places on ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'':
** Some of the children in Gabriel's care on the White Diamond Crisis have bionic eyes (implied to be part of the 'infection' aboard the ship), giving them a Mismatched Eyes appearance.

* Dabbler from ''Webcomic/{{Grrlpower}}'', a succubus who is a JackOfAllTrades including being a technological expert, has an electronic prosthetic eye after [[EyeScream losing the real one in a swordfight]]. The eye is capable of some features like video-recording and the like. It never falls out unintentionally during the course of the story, but it is loose enough that Dabbler PULLS IT OUT OF HER SOCKET during dinner with her coworkers.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': [[RetiredBadass Maria Calavera]] has had a pair since losing her eyes decades ago, [[spoiler: which were [[MagicalEye Silver]]]]. Unlike most examples, they're actually quite clunky, looking more like a pair of over-sized high-tech goggles, and cast everything she sees in a bluish tint; she also has to have them taken in for maintenance every few years, or they start breaking down and malfunctioning.

* In ''Literature/AvalonsReign'', [=OSIs=] are devices that are implanted inside a person's eyes, giving them access to AugmentedReality features such as a {{HUD}}.

** In the episode ''A Head in the Polls'', Bender demonstrates that (at least in his case) they are actually shaped like the standard "stop" symbol on a recording device, and can change to the "play" or "rewind" shapes when he is performing those functions.

* Cyborg of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has a mechanical eye. This is a plot point in one episode where the Titans are facing robots built with the same technology and Cyborg reveals that his mechanical eye has a weakness that can be exploited to make objects invisible to it, which they use to sneak past the robots.

* Many scientists are working on [[http://www.2-sight.com/ creating retinal implants that can send information directly into the optic nerve]], effectively curing many kinds of blindness (and simpler models, such as those which transmit image data onto another kind of receptor, [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1210425/Blind-people-able-using-amazing-tongue-tingling-device-bypasses-eyes.html such as the tongue]], already exist). These same scientists are perfectly aware that once you can turn an electronic camera into an effective human eye, there is (theoretically) little difficulty in giving these eye cameras night vision, zoom functions, etc... Unfortunately, these optic nerve/visual cortex devices currently have far lower resolution than even the cheapest digital camera, and are generally limited to producing "white" or "black" (on or off) pixels. It's better than being blind, but it produces nowhere near the detail of normal vision.

* In ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' (all versions) one of the main characters, Batou, has very obvious artificial eyes. In ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' they are referred to as "ranger eyes," after the eyes used by the ranger unit he belonged to when he was in the military. Not much is revealed of their capabilities.
** They are shown to include night vision, a powerful zoom, limited ability to detect thermoptic camouflage and in the final episode of 2nd Gig [[spoiler:a visual TrustPassword when a corrupt official is silly enough to send Rangers after a former Ranger.]]
** In ''Stand Alone Complex'', Borma has a similar pair of eyes, except they are red. Nothing known about their capabilities. Saito's left eye is his cybernetic "Hawkeye", which has a super powerful scoping ability and he can access satellites to zoom in on his targets to help with his sniping. When not used, remains closed, looking akin to an eye patch.

* The Creator/YoungAnimal title ''Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye'' follows the Forgotten Heroes guest appearance in ''ComicBook/ResurrectionMan'' by portraying Silver Age spelunker Cave Carson as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin having a cybernetic eye]].

** 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.[[note]]She had a Borg ocular implant in place of one eye, which was replaced with [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/4/41/Ocular_implant.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070619064453&format=original&path-prefix=en a more "normal-looking" version]] by ''Voyager'''s EMH.[[/note]]

** 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.

** In ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', Robot Master eyes are shown to work similar to LCD screens, although due to the vastly inferior animation it appears more as the eyes being a blank white until the rest fades in. The [[ComicBook/MegaMan comics]] do this too, with inactive robots having blank eyes, and the eyes of forcibly shut down robots tending to glitch and display weirdly before going blank.

* Dabbler from ''Webcomic/{{Grrlpower}}'', a succubus who is a JackofAllTrades including being a technological expert, has an electronic prosthetic eye after [[EyeScream losing the real one in a swordfight]]. The eye is capable of some features like video-recording and the like. It never falls out unintentionally during the course of the story, but it is loose enough that Dabbler PULLS IT OUT OF HER SOCKET during dinner with her coworkers.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' star Spike Spiegel has a false eye. It functions practically identically to a natural eye, with no nifty technological tricks. The only sign of its falseness is the fact that it's a slightly different shade of brown than his real eye.

* ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' features [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Mechanical_augmentation?file=RetinalProsthesis.png these]]. You can upgrade them to allow you to see through walls, tell when an enemy will stop looking for you, and keep you safe from flashbangs.

It can also be a [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic replacement for lost eyes]]. These are commonly found in stories set in the far future with widely available technology. In reality, artificial sight technology is [[http://discovermagazine.com/2001/aug/featsight already pretty advanced]], so as writers catch up with science we should be seeing crude-but-workable Electronic Eyes in about TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture.

* Schtein of ''Webcomic/StringTheory'' has replacement eyes after an accident, unfortunately they only work in black and white, some thing that causes a problem later.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''

* In ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'', 003's SuperSenses come from her being turned into a Cyborg. Her electronic eyes are shown in quite the detail in the 2012 movie.

* ''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 or his superhuman 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.

* The Creator/YoungAnimal title ''Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye'' follows the Forgotten Heroes guest appearance in ''Comicbook/ResurrectionMan'' by portraying Silver Age spelunker Cave Carson as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin having a cybernetic eye]].

* Among the many cybernetic implants the Imperium uses in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' "augmetic optics" are quite common. ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' features an electronic-eyed soldier who's a valuable reconnaissance asset as his range of vision extends across the electromagnetic spectrum.

** The protagonist, Commander Shepard, is also mentioned as having implants to aid with targeting and so forth (along with various other body modifications) following VideoGame/MassEffect2 when they were [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuilt]]. KickTheDog enough with Renegade actions and they glitch out and become a case of RedEyesTakeWarning.

* ''Franchise/MegaMan''

** In the StealthSequel ''VideoGame/{{Thief 2014}}'', [[LegacyCharacter Garrett]] finds [[http://thiefgame.wikia.com/wiki/Mechanical_Eye the same eye]] hundreds of years later.

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat''

* The Courier from ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'' has the option to get these by means of the Optics Enhancer, an implant surgically placed within your eye that 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, thermal, and electro-magnetic vision.
* Markov of ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'' has one of these, as well as metal plating that covers part of his head.

* Robert of Webcomic/{{SSDD}} has some with [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20110621.html special features]] unfortunately they are a [[BlackEyesOfEvil little unsettling to look at]].

* Schtein of Webcomic/StringTheory has replacement eyes after an accident, unfortunately they only work in black and white, some thing that causes a problem later.

* ''WebComic/GirlGenius'': The Corbettite monk/cook/general Vadaxxus has a red-glass-and-brass prosthetic eye. Spark-minion/grad student Miss Baumhund has a device strapped over one eye, though it's not entirely clear if it's a replacement or just an enhancement of some sort.
* ''WebComic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': Jet, the main character's brother, is a SuperSoldier from a nondescript spacefuture, and has a yellow eye with crosshairs instead of a pupil. It's eventually revealed that the military put it inside Jet to be used to take photos of strategic locations/targets. Jet mostly uses it to take photos of his velociraptors being cute.

* Tricky, the supposed android from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS"]], is actually just a human cyborg with prosthetic replacements for his eyes.

* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the pirate captain in "The Pirate Planet" has a bionic headset which includes a flurescent eyepiece as a high-tech PirateEyepatch.

* Kano from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has a cybernetic eye grafted to the left side of his face as part of his metal plate after he lost his real eye in a battle with Jax. In some games it can emit EyeBeams.

** The protagonist, Commander Shepard, is also mentioned as having implants to aid with targeting and so forth (along with various other body modifications) following MassEffect2 when they were [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuilt]]. KickTheDog enough with Renegade actions and they glitch out and become a case of RedEyesTakeWarning.

* [=GoldenEye=] from the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' game ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeRogueAgent'' has a cybernetic eye upgraded with powers over the course of the game, with powers like seeing through walls and hacking electronics.

* Used rather bizarrely to avoid an ArtifactTitle for ''VideoGame/GoldenEyeRogueAgent''.

* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' films after ''[[Film/StarTrekGenerations Generations]]'', Geordi [=LaForge=] replaced his VISOR with streamlined ocular implants. [=LeVar=] Burton did not like wearing the VISOR prop. From what we see in ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact First Contact]]'', the implants are far superior to the VISOR, as he is actually able to see people in normal colors, as opposed to rainbow shapes. It is unknown if he can still tell when people are lying. Given that during the TV series Geordi specifically declined ocular implants because they'd give him inferior vision to his VISOR, most likely the ones developed by the time of ''First Contact'' could see everything his VISOR could and more.

* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': [[spoiler: After Thor lost his right eye in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', Rocket Racoon gives him a cybernetic eye as a replacement, albeit [[MismatchedEyes one with a mismatched color]].]]
