It occurs to me (partly because my fiction writing is usually cyberpunk) that the idea of “supercharging” is still somewhat under-utilized. Â Replacing an entire eye might be more problematic than juicing the bodies existing systems to make the existing eye perform better (which is some of the underlying logic behind this technology).

When I write sci-fi pieces, I’m usually looking at the mind.  Not just in how people act and react to one another, but in particular how they act and react within the constraints of technology.  In the proto-cyberpunk world I am currently working in, there is a certain amount of psychological risk when dealing with memories and experiences created through the use of implanted technology.  Not just the classic old trope of “can you be killed in cyberspace?” but a slightly more nuanced approach based around ideas like the one linked below.
