Just gonna say this again, the guy you give the old radio to(Pope Joe), doesn't shine Riddick's eyes, he only stitches his arm, he says so. Shirah(the female voice he keeps hearing in his head), gives it to him, even saying you've been blind far too long. He thinks Pope Joe did it, but it was her. She also unlocked his rage of the furyan ability. Riddick says Joe did it for a few reasons. One, he doesn't really know what happened, and two, it keeps people from asking too many questions. Plus he doesn't want everyone having eyes like his.

Pretty much. "Pitch Black" was a good movie. "Chronicles" was crap.
This is a prime example of how opinions and taste can differ.
Pitch black & Chronicles are two of my favorite movies, even bought them on DVD.
If you like science fiction, special effects, action & something different then watch these movies. You´ll love them.
Pitch Black is an artistic masterwork as far as scenes are concerned.

Pitch Black explained it as a medical procedure. Nothing suggest it's some inherent Furyian thing.
Play Escape from Butcher Bay, which is a canon prequel to Pitch Black. The powers may not be Furyan, but it's something that's not a medical prorcedure....the voice talking to him is the reason his eyes are shined and he has the Wrath of the Furyan ability.
This was proven when Pope Joe stitched his arm up, the voice said, You've been blind far too long...Then he got mad at Joe and threatened him, asking what he did. Then Joe said all he did was fix his arm.
Fact.
I'm not accepting some video game that came long after the initial concept of Riddick as canon. Pitch Black, the original source of the character is canon.
Jack: Where the hell can I get eyes like that?
Riddick: Gotta kill a few people.
Jack: 'Kay, I can do it.
Riddick: Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.
Jack: So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?
Riddick: Exactly.

It's also then hinted in Chronicles that he was lying about that.
I don't care if you accept it or not, it's canon. So the game is right.
And yeah, somebody else said they'd been in a few slams and there wasn't a doctor who fit that description or something like that.
Fact is Riddick got the shine in Butcher Bay, and lied about it, whether you accept it or not, that's what it is.
