The North Sea got its act together in 1975. Over the years I daresay there has been about ten landings a night during weekdays, less at weekends. That's about 1,500/year over 40 years which adds up to 60,000 landings.
How many accidents can be attributed to it being dark as opposed to incorrect procedures or techniques and especially pilot's skill. One or two??
They would probably be be as a result of disorientation and if a pilot is going to get disoriented he will get disoriented no matter how much gubbins you put in front of or on him/she.
I have not flown with modern NVG but my suspicion would be that they, somewhere, sometime, are going to miss something that is going to lead to a major incident.
Eyeballs may have their drawbacks but technically they are light years ahead of goggles.
