Morphology
ocular = ocul + ar
The combining form 'ocul-' is not a standalone English word and the adjective '-ar' is not a productive, transparent derivation for average learners, so the meaning 'relating to the eye' is not reliably inferable from the parts.
Etymology
Ocular comes from the old Latin word oculus, which means 'eye'. So ocular is used for anything to do with the eyes or sight, and you can see the same root in binoculars ('two eyes'), which helps show the 'eye' meaning.
