actually the way i always understood it was that when you get cybereyes,
they effectively become part of your body and aura...therefore, even though
you have cybereyes, they are now "assimilated" into your aura and you can
therefore use cybernetic vision (elcectornic magnifiation or no) to cast
LOS spells...as for Thermo or IR, i'm not sure about that...

"The day was very different from the night. The night
belonged to me and my droogs and all the rest of the
nadsats, and the starry bourgeois lurked indoors drinking
in the gloopy worldcasts, but the day was for the starry
ones, and there always seemed to be more rozzes or
millicents about during the day, too."
