Just rewatched “The Naked Now” not having seen it for at least a decade. Forgot about the talk with Crusher about his condition and how they bring it full circle when the metaphasic radiation temporarily heals his optic nerves. I’ll be funny next post, I swear.
Forgive my ignorance, but is it explained how Geordi doesn’t see “the way” we do? Is it some property of the visor that doesn’t allow him to see in normal wavelengths or is it just that it’s through a prosthetic rather than his natural eyes?
Yes. They show us his visor vision in an episode. It’s about how you’d expect an artificial vision device to look in the 90s.
The VISOR (an acronym for Visual Instrument and Sensory Organ Replacement) allows him to see infrared and ultraviolet. Not to mention lots of other useful environmental info.
