I have an artificial lens in one eye (like a contact lens that's been glued in place) that has built in uv protection. Not cybernetic as such, but I'd say it was adjacent.

Lol, And all it cost me the ability to focus on anything not exexactly 37 inches away.

Fun fact, many of the intra-ocular lenses and contact lenses that provide UV protection do so just by the properties of the material they are made of, not any special coating.

A friend of mine changed his internal lenses to synthetic ones due to cataracts. He was used to the dim light of cataracts and it took him a while to get used to a brighter world.
