Eyeware
Probably the most common piece of cyberware available
in 2075 is cybereyes. Originally designed to gift
the blind with normal sight, cybereyes allow for far
more than normal human vision. While they still carry
a social stigma in places, and the idea continues
to carry a degree of squeamishness about it, it’s not
entirely uncommon for people with perfectly good
natural eyes to trade them out for cybernetic replacements.
Cybereyes are available in any shape or color,
from “almost natural” to all chrome to solid glowing
purple and everything in between. Some models have
their color and pattern easily altered by downloading
a new skin.
Most cybereye modifications are also offered as retinal
modifications to the natural eye. Vision enhancements
either take up Capacity in cybereyes or Essence
in natural eyes, not both. As a general rule, upgrades are
applied to both eyes so that the user’s vision doesn’t become
unbalanced.

*included in the basic cybereye system.
Cybereyes
The basic cybereyes system features
20/20 vision for both eyes, an image link, and a built-in
camera at no extra cost, as well as capacity for vision
enhancements.
Flare Compensation
An implanted version of the
flare compensation enhancement (p. 444).
Image link: An implanted version
of the image link enhancement (p.
444).
Low-light Vision
An implanted
version of the low-light vision enhancement
(p. 444).
Ocular Drone
This enhancement
only affects one eyeball per purchase.
A small spyball drone is placed in your
ocular cavity. The spyball functions as a
normal cybereye (with all the relevant
enhancements) until you remove it and
control it as though it were a Horizon
Flying Eye (p. 465). When it’s out and
you have only one eye, you suffer a
–3 dice pool penalty to all tasks. If you
replace both eyes with drones, you’re
effectively blind while those drones
are operating apart from you. An ocular
drone is obviously not available as a
retinal modification.
Retinal Duplication
This highly illegal
modification can be loaded with
a recording of someone else’s retina
to create an almost perfect reproduction.
Make an Opposed Test between
the retinal duplication Rating and the
retinal scanner Rating (Security Devices,
p. 362).
Smartlink
An implanted version of
the smartlink vision enhancement (p.
444). Note that a smartlink installed in a natural eye or in
a pair of cybereyes is more effective than a smartlink installed
in an external device: see Smartgun System, p. 444.
Thermographic Vision
An implanted version of the
thermographic vision enhancement (p. 444).
Vision Enhancement
An implanted version of vision
enhancement (p. 444).
Vision Magnification
An implanted version of the
vision magnification enhancement (p. 444).
