Did they discuss phasing out Geordi's visor during TNG?

All Good Things shows future Geordi with the eye implants, Soran asks Geordi in Generations if he's considered a procedure to that'd make him "look more normal," and in season two Pulaski mentions something about Geordi having a procedure done to replace his visor with something else (can't remember if it's implants or not).

There seemed to be this idea, possibly as early as season two, of Geordi's visor being replaced. But was it ever discussed BTS to implement it during TNG's run? Seems like it'd be a great favor to LeVar Burton.

I think I remember them talking about it, it was considered, this is why Pulaski brought it up. She talked about regrowing his optical nerve iirc so presumably they simply would have had Levar Burton use his actual eyes without contacts or anything that would have made them look artificial.
