Geordi's visor wasn't like a pair of sunglasses. People couldnt just put them on to see through them. The visor was connected to implants in his temples. The visor scans bio-eletrical signals, heat signals, etc and feeds it into his brain. It sits over his eyes to give him an appropriate field of vision for a human. And in one episode, they connect his visor to the main screen on the bridge and they do get to see what he sees all the time.

Why did Riker's beard disappear?
akronFeb 10, 2012
Rats. You beat me to it!
aeonFeb 10, 2012
Could be the suggestion that it's a fake beard...

Because Geordi didn't have time to reverse the polarity before Wesley put the visor on.

I would have thought Riker would have had "Number One" tattooed on him.

Only on the front. The back is for number two.

Because it's funny. I don't understand you, either, but you're still a joke.
darkfire79Feb 11, 2012
Thus why it's a joke, because it's not true.
