Wow! If I had a nickel for every time a Trek show had a blind engineer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? (startrek.website)

Not directly related, but my favorite exchange about human eyesight...

(Lt. Commander Data) "Sir, Lieutenant La Forge's eyes are far superior to human biological eyes, true?"

(Capt. Picard) "M-hm."

(Lt. Commander Data) "Then why are not all human officers required to have their eyes replaced with cybernetic implants?"

(Lt. Commander Data) "I see. It is precisely because I am not human."

Tbh I agree with Data. It's absurd that they don't go full AdMech and replace all their fleshy bits with machine bits. Maybe I just crave the strength and certainty of steel more than the average human.

Geordi's visor gives him constant pain

It's amazing he didn't turn into Dr. House.

Resistance is futile after all
