Morphology
The meaning 'state or health of the eye' is directly and compositionally derived from 'eye' (the organ that enables vision) plus 'condition' (the state of something). This simple noun–noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns and is fully predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can understand it.
Etymology
Eye condition comes from the simple idea of the words eye and condition: the eye is the part you use to see and 'condition' means the 'state' or any problem it has. So it describes the health or problem of an eye, especially how well someone can see.
