Even for situations where that is not the case, the question remains if you consider Acute Vision instead of Perception.
I wouldn't allow that, myself. I tend to consider all the Acute senses to be specialized forms of Perception, as contrasted to the physical differences for Telescopic Vision, Night Vision, and so on. Perception as such originated as Alertness, an advantage that was a pooled form of the various Acute senses, back in the days of 3/e.
