There are lots of ways to say ' you can see/you can not see' in Chinese, it all depends on context.

You may have come across the idea of "complements" in Chinese, even if you didn't realize it. For instance the expression 我听不懂 (wǒ tīng bù dǒng) has the verb 听 and the complement 不懂 to mean "I don't understand".
Likewise, to say "you cannot see" the most likely say 你看不见 (nǐ kàn bù jiàn).
