Morphology
The noun phrase 'eye care' is a straightforward composition of 'eye' (vision organ) and 'care' (treatment/maintenance), so its meaning — care or treatment for the eyes — is directly derivable from the parts. This literal, compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English noun+noun/compound semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Eye care comes from the simple, literal image of giving care to the eye, for example cleaning, checking and protecting it. That's why eye care today means 'treatment, checkups and protection' for your vision.
