Morphology
The meaning 'a surgical procedure performed on the eye' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'eye' (vision organ) + 'surgery' (medical operation). This noun-noun composition is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Eye surgery is a simple, literal name: eye shows the body part and surgery means an operation. It gives the image of a careful operation on the eye to 'fix' vision or treat eye problems, so the phrase means a surgical procedure on the eye.
