Morphology
The meaning 'the ability to see objects at the edges of the visual field' is directly and transparently derived from 'peripheral' (on the outer boundary) combined with 'vision' (seeing). This compositional pattern is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Peripheral vision comes from the words peripheral meaning 'at the edge' and vision meaning 'seeing'. Imagine looking straight ahead but still noticing movement at the side of your eyes; that side view is the literal image, so the phrase means 'the ability to see objects outside the direct line of vision'.
