I believe the answer is:

bobby-dazzler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wonderful vision' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'might temporarily blind an officer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'blind' could be 'dazzle' (dazzling is a kind of blinding) and 'dazzle' is found within the answer.
'officer?' could be 'bobby' (bobby is a kind of officer) and 'bobby' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'what' is the link.
