eyes
Eyes were the sensory organ adapted to process electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum into signals that the brain can interpret. In 2256, Captain Gabriel Lorca was wounded in the destruction of the U.S.S. Buran NCC-1422 during the Klingon War. When doctors discovered that he was no longer able to quickly adapt to sudden changes in light, they attributed this to the wounds he suffered.[1] In reality, however, Lorca was actually a Terran from the Mirror Universe who had replaced his counterpart in the Prime Timeline, and in his native universe, the condition is normal for his species.[2]
In the 24th century, Geordi La Forge was born blind. When he was older, he was fitted with a VISOR, which performed a similar function to organic eyes.[3] In 2371, he replaced the VISOR with artificial implants that more closely resembled organic eyes.[4]
