The VISOR on Star Trek: The Next Generation helped Geordi La Forge with his vision. However, it had the opposite effect on LeVar Burton.

LeVar Burton is a jack of many trades, considering he is an award-winning actor, director, and education advocate. While the actor has been a part of many movies and shows, he is globally known for playing Kunte Kinte in Roots and Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The show ran for a total of seven seasons, and Burton also directed a few episodes of it.

In the show, his character, Geordi La Forge, has been blind since birth, and to deal with this he uses an advanced VISOR instrument. But this visual tool also had further repercussions for the actor, forcing him to experiment with a different acting technique.

VISOR was connected to the character's optic nerve and further allowed him to see and perceive the world. The device quickly became one of Star Trek's most iconic instruments, but LeVar Burton, on the other hand, has a hard time wearing it for the scenes.
