The other point is that goggles should use "natural" mods - none of those
performance compromises to make the enhancers fit into an eye, these are
a lot bigger and more powerful. If you want them to look like mirrorshades,
naturally, the penalties go back on, but if you accept that they look like
what they are (bulky olive-drab equipment) they should be better than
surgical modifications.
