Neural input
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Geordi without his VISOR in 2364.
Neural inputs were the parts of Geordi La Forge's neural implants that connected his VISOR with his visual cortex.
In 2369, it seemed as if La Forge had a bacterial infection around his neural inputs, but it turned out that tampering solanagen-based lifeforms were responsible for the malfunctions. (TNG: "Schisms")
