Battlecruiser captain with an ocular implant in the left eye
Ocular implants are terran cybernetic devices. Through "radical" surgery, the subject's eye(s) are replaced with these implants, increasing their range of sight dramatically.
Ghosts are known to undergo such surgery, implants used to increase their effectiveness as covert operatives.
During the Second Great War, battlecruiser captains also began to undergo such a surgery on one eye.

In StarCraft, ocular implants can be researched at the covert ops, one of the add-ons for the science facility. This upgrade increases a ghost's sight range, and without it a ghost will inevitably be killed by his own nuclear missile.
Wings of Liberty
Mira Han with an ocular implant
In the Wings of Liberty campaign, ocular implants serve as an upgrade to ghosts.
Increases ghost sight range by 3 and attack range by 2.
The implants make it easier to spot potential targets and weak points in the enemy perimeter. The current generation also includes an automated targeting system that instantly calculates atmospheric pressure and wind shear, greatly increasing the effective sniping range of the ghost.[1]
