“An away-mission regular who is racially black and birth-defect blind – although with prosthetic super-high tech artificial “eyes” which can detect electromagnetic waves from all the way from raw heat to high frequency ultra-violet, making other crewpersons seem hopelessly “blind” by comparison. His closest friend is Data, and the two of them are particularly efficient when working together on away missions. Because of his ‘eyes,’ Geordi can also perform some of the functions of a tricorder.” Star Trek: The Next Generation Writer/Director’s Guide, March 23, 1987
