He wears a VISOR, a half-moon-shaped device attached at the temples, allowing La Forge, who was born blind, to see. They enable him to "see" throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, from heat and infrared through light and radio waves. With the cybernetic technology connected directly to his brain, it requires such a complex and broad-based input that the user has to concentrate to focus on one area. Eventually, he receives ocular impants with electric blue pupils and the same abilities.
