No. That wouldn't be the case. You still send the image along the optic
nerve just like any other processed image. Anything else would be rather
ineffecient. Therfore - it is still like any other processed and magnified
image.

Realize we are talking about cybereyes. Rods and cones exist, but not the same
as in a normal eye. The image produced by _any_ cybereye is that generated by
a machine. In a cybereye, this would apply to optical magnification and
electronic magnification alike.
