GURPS is prone to overstating the effects of visual disadvantages on gross motor tasks; we actually have a quite large surplus of visual capability for ordinary applications (plenty of animals make do just fine with 20:100 vision or worse, and most animals with peripheral vision also lack binocular vision). A lot of this is probably because GURPS likes to combine modifiers to a single roll when it would be more accurate to use multiple rolls.
