What kept the VISOR on?

My bigger issue is when they dropped the visor in the films, it took a LOT away from the character, removing his visible disability and honesty just made the character feel less like LaForge and more like LeVar.

LeVar insisted that he had had enough of the VISOR and wanted it gone.

Rules created by Starfleet/The Federation? Rules built into the Holodeck's programming?

I would say both because the rules would need to apply to non-Starfleet people as well.

The films were subpar for many reasons but Geordi is hardly in any of them, only has a good scene or 2 in First Contact where his new CG eyes are shown off. After that his character sort of fades into the background.

Just like on the show.

Trek lore is that Starfleet was tired of having Geordi's visor used against him, the second time to destroy the Enterprise-D. They told him to get ocular implants or more to a less secure post.

As for the other issue? Character assassination. Geordi's not the only character to be mishandled thus.

I never understood why the novelverse feels the need to come up with some dramatic explanation for everything, when it can be as easy as Geordie just opting for some new technology.

Him seeing his first sunset was great in INS
