Here are a few, some are old but still somewhat relevant though.

It is quite overrated. The only part of the PCI that actually matters is affected by contract ratings and pitchers per 9s
Vision is completely useless this year imo. Sometime I even swing and miss with the ball all the way in the outer vision circle with good timing. Makes no sense

"In some cases, a high vision can be a hindrance. In my experience, the vast majority of contact that's made outside of the inner Contact PCI but within the outer Vision PCI is going to be an easy pop up. If a card has low vision, you're more likely to just swing through those and take the strike rather than the out."
"The further out towards the edge of the vision ring you go, the lower the % chance of quality contact results. The inner (contact) ring is where you are most likely to make good contact (higher exit velo). Vision which is the outer ring, is a better reflection of the outer most limit of where your player could potentially make contact with the ball, although it comes with a higher % chance of a poor contact result and lower exit velo."
"(hidden) comment is spot on. A high vision guy can be good if you really want to get a ball in play late in a game, but the way the game plays as a general rule high contact is the choice over high vision.
This is exactly why Joey Gallo has been a MLB The Show legend while always being blind as a ground dwelling rodent."

"It can also work against you, with less than 2 strikes there are plenty of swings you take where you'd rather not put the ball in play, but you end up chopping or popping out."... ..."A really good player may prefer lower vision because they are so good at placing their PCI that they'd rather swing and miss than make weak contact."
These aren't really relevant posts anymore and honestly it's not like any of these come from guys like Skepple, College Lefty, etc....I would give this more credence if it came from a top player
