* In ''Fanfic/IfIOnlyHadAHeart'', Izuku replaces the eye he lost in a villain attack with a cybernetic replacement of his own design. In addition to restoring his depth perception, it's equipped with telescopic and thermal vision and is a miniature supercomputer that allows him to connect to the internet. He hopes to eventually be able to use it to directly interface with other pieces of technology to remotely control them. It's also removable, allowing Izuku to use CT scans without a hitch and monitor his nerves to prevent damage. He also has a camera function installed so that he can record what he sees, uploading it to a computer via a USB drive in his prosthetic arm.

Normally the eye is some kind of upgrade or [[SuperSenses super sense]]. It may have a superzoom, infrared or perhaps digitised vision. This is quite common with the {{Cyborg}} hero whose powers are his cybernetic upgrades.

Sometimes the eye is very visually distinct. Bizarre irises or unusual pupils mark the individual. Working on the principle of the eyes being the window to the soul, these TechnicolorEyes can be a small but direct method of demonstrating the fact that an otherwise normal-looking individual is at least partially cybernetic. In the case of prosthetic eyes they also work as a scar signifier. Since the eyes are taken as so much more personal they can be a much smaller effect for greater emotional impact. And, of course, it can also show how [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul evil]] a person is.

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.

* ''ComicVook/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 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 in a situation. 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.
* [[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]].
** Oh, it's [[TheDarkSide not]] [[EyesAlwaysShut empty]].
* Mr. Marsh of ''ComicBook/NoHero'' has computers in his head that's revealed by glowing eyes.
* Police captain Wiggins in ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}: Devil's Legacy''. We never see how this works 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 but in this case, he's probably seeing somewhat like what Geordi Laforge might see through his visor). Quite useful in questioning suspects. Although, apparently he often prefers to rely on his intelligence and intuition rather than just his built in lie detector. He's probably aware that any good liar can beat a lie detector.
* ComicBook/XMen member ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} had lost her original eyes to the Slaymaster and had them replaced with bionic ones by Sprial that instantly adjusted to light and broadcasted everything to Mojoworld. She lost them (and has them replaced with normal eyes) and Kwannon gained them when [[FreakyFriday they had their body swap]].
