Line 33:
** Not true at all, in Dredd's own words, 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 story where any of those tidbits ever come up again. Also, in the ''[[Two Thousand AD]]'' 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 [[Blind Without'Em]].
* [[Big Bad|Haazen]] from ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (Comic Book)|Knights of the Old Republic]]'' had one mechanical eye that was visibly artificial and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|glowed bright red]]. His other eye seemed to be simply an empty socket, leading one to wonder [[Fridge Logic|why he didn't get it replaced, too]].
** Oh, [[Eyes of Gold|it's]] [[The Dark Side|not]] [[Eyes Always Shut|empty]].
* Mr. Marsh of [[No Hero]] has computers in his head that's revealed by glowing eyes.
Line 40:
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* In ''[[Aeon Entelechy Evangelion (Fanfic)|Aeon Entelechy Evangelion]]'' it is mandatory for the military personnel to get eye modifications, either in form of special contacts or replacing the organic eyes with the artificial ones, since on the battlefield there are lots of thing, mostly lasers, that tend to blind at best or fry the eyeballs at worst.
* In ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'', one of Commander Karrde's eyes is an electronic replacement. In addition, Commander Rawne arranges for a soldier who was blinded by shrapnel to get replacement electronic eyes. Being a Nod soldier, naturally, her eyes glow [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]]. Avatar pilots also have glowing electronic eyes, along with a slew of other implants to help them control their mechs.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 49:
** Not a stretch, considering that most of them have some kind of cybernetic hardware covering one eye.
** [[Eye Scream|"Covering" one eye?]]
* In ''[[
* The Silicates of ''[[Space Above and Beyond]]'' have eyes that look like targeting reticules.
* In ''Century City'', 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.
Line 56:
* ''[[Robo Cop]]'' says his eyes are "the best money can buy"; they are somehow superior to human vision, despite having visibly poor screen-resolution [[Robo Cam]].
* In ''[[Repo the Genetic Opera]]'' 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 [[Gene Co]]. She is of course, killed for her defiance.}}
* Silver from ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' has cybernetic eye instead of an eye patch. It's generally yellow, but [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|turns red when he's angry]].
* In the ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' films after ''[[Star Trek Generations (Film)|Generations]]'', Geordi LaForge replaced his VISOR with streamlined ocular implants. LeVar Burton did not like wearing the VISOR prop.
** From what we see in ''[[Star Trek First Contact (Film)|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.
Line 82:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', 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). [[Kick the Dog]] enough and they glitch out and are being listed under [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]].
** The tie-in comic, ''[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect:_Evolution Mass Effect: Evolution]'', reveals where TIM got them: {{spoiler|a Reaper artifact on Shanxi}}.
* The ''[[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]]'' 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."
Line 105:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Matrix, Enzo's adult form in ''[[Re Boot]]'' season 3, after he lost an eye to an opponent in a fighting game, replaces it with a [[Eyes of Gold|gold optic]] with a stylized M. When he gets angry, it rolls and the M on the other side [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|glows red]].
* Dick Knubbler, sound engineer for [[Metalocalypse|Dethklok]], has a pair of robotic eyes after his real eyes were literally exploded by the power of the bands rocking. Each eye can move independently, like a chameleon.
