Morphology
The meaning 'the ability to perceive by sight' follows directly from combining 'visual' (related to sight) with 'sense' (a perceptual faculty). This adjective+noun composition is a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase visual sense comes from the simple image of your visual ability and your sense of sight working together, where your eyes 'see' and give information to your brain. That's why it means the ability to 'see'.
