Admiral Gaskaville, his left eye having been replaced with an occular implant
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.
