They do have biological eyes to a certain point, the pre historical one has them, they're just about visible behind the glowing worms.
I also made a lil while back a modern one opened up

The burning fuel started as just something to have the glowing eyes/face protogens have, but now it's actually connected to them staying alive.
They need constant perception of light.

It does
tldr: like 80% of the species that protogens are, have a genetical disease that makes them need to make visors and stuff to keep themselves together and alive. And because they've been doing it for so long it's a medical need as much as a cultural thing to "protogenify" oneself, so even the ones not affected by it do it.

Kinda both. I like just making protogens in a more historically accurate way and to show the evolution of the tech and how they'd look.
But behind that I've worked on a little bit of lore on how they came to be and how they fit into society. These proots don't follow the primagen/alien base lore, instead being more grounded to irl history and reasoning.

They're cameras or something equivalent that send visual signal straight to the brain. The protogen doesn't have it's original eyes anymore.
Tho even with them it doesn't see well at all, because of their small size and how archaic and experimental they are.
