The Dalek eyestalk was mounted on the [[Dalek]]'s [[dome]] via the [[lens attachment]], the front of which sported the [[eye lens]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dalek Generation (novel)|The Dalek Generation]]'') which enabled the Dalek to see its surroundings. It was the only vulnerable part of the Dalek. ([[TV]]: ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|Resurrection of the Daleks]]'') Components included [[visual scanner]]s ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birth of a Legend (short story)|Birth of a Legend]]'') and a [[visual circuit]].

The [[Time Lord]]s observed that the [[silver Dalek]]s following the early [[Dalek War Machine]]s, as well as being fitted with [[solar slat]]s, boasted improvements to the visual systems in the form of a recalibrated eyepiece lens with re-engineered optic discs.

On the reconstructed Skaro, older [[silver Dalek]]s had eyepieces refitted with lenses matching those of their bronze counterparts. [[Renegade Dalek (The Magician's Apprentice)|A]] [[grey Dalek|grey]] [[Renegade Dalek]], however, retained its lens.

The Daleks of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] produced by the [[Progenitor]] had radically redesigned eyepieces with black rings on the stick, fins on the cone, and the lens being organic rather than robotic, much like a real organic eye. The viewpoint from this eyepiece was similar, except for an opaque orange perimeter with honeycomb circuitry and protruding organic veins. ([[TV]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'') If the eyepiece were to be removed from the casing, the orange light would deactivate. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') The introduction of organic materials into the eye was meant to enhance its sensitivity.

The [[robot]]ic [[Proto-Dalek]]s, which were constructed by the [[British]] and [[German]]s as part of the [[Dalek Project]] during the [[First World War]], had eyepieces which were much bulkier and [[camera]]-like. In contrast to the [[German Proto-Dalek]]s, the [[British Proto-Dalek]]s had thick and cylindrical eyepieces.
