Usually Quirks.

Minor Handicap gives the example (in Power Ups 6) of a generic minor eyesight problem that gives -1 to Vision rolls if you don't take an extra second to focus,

Dull Taste/Smell which gives -1 to both, or -2 to one.

Limited Hearing Loss has a quirk for High Frequency & Low Frequency.

Poor Night Vision gives an extra -1 in bad lighting.
