Limitations are based on how much they affect the power and its utility.
With even a -5% you expect iot to come up at least once in a campaign, with -50% I would expect it to come up on a regular basis. That means shortly into the game your eyes are attempted to be stolen and a success should happen at some point or your getting free points.
Gadget limitations are not Accessibility Limitations, they are not prized by judgement calls on how often the limitation will come into play. If whatever grants you the advantage can be stolen or targeted and destroyed to deprive you of the advantage it's a gadget and gets gadget limitations.

Superman can have a gadget with 'Can be Stolen: Quick Contest of Strength, -30%' even though there's pretty much no one able to win a quick contest of strength with him. You can have a gadget and get the cost reduction for destructible even if there's little chance you'd survive an attack strong enough to ruin the gadget.

Though eyes might not qualify as can be stolen, taking Breakable without Can Be Stolen is still the only way to model something that grants you one or more advantages and is physically attached to your body and can be destroyed to deprive you of the advantage(s).

Edit: For Vision advantages though I guess the fact that you can lose the advantage if you lose your eyes is already included in the cost, unless you have IT: No Eyes or the Panoptic 2 enhancement.
