It's "problem with my eyes", "problem with my homework", "problem with my children", "problem with my computer", ... Whenever you're talking about the thing that's causing the problem, it's problem with. Obviously, you can have "problem in Honduras", "problem in Brazil", "problem in Pakistan", but that says where the problem is.
