[/ˈvɪʒən ˈprɑːbləm/]
nounpl: vision problems
problema de visão
1. Any condition or disorder that affects the ability to see clearly or properly
She has had a vision problem since childhood that requires corrective lenses.

2. A medical or optical deficiency affecting visual perception
Common vision problems include myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

In Brazil, vision problems are commonly discussed in healthcare contexts, and many Brazilians rely on optometrists (optometristas) for routine eye care. In the USA, both optometrists and ophthalmologists provide vision care. The term is neutral and non-stigmatizing in both cultures, though 'deficiency' terminology may be used in formal medical or disability contexts.
