Morphology
The meaning 'ability to see objects clearly at close range' is directly and compositionally derived from 'near' (close) + 'vision' (the capacity to see). This is a straightforward noun phrase and a common cross-linguistic concept, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Near vision comes from the two simple words near, meaning close to the eyes, and vision, meaning seeing. Eye doctors used these words to talk about 'the ability to see things clearly up close', so today near vision means being able to see well at close range.
