No reply will help much. We had a wire hair fox terrier who went blind due to cataracts.
His eyes were totally white. Did he slow down due to being blind or due to being a really old dog? In any case, dogs get around by smell. Many dogs are groomed with fur covering their eyes. Surely they can't see much through all that fur covering their eyes.
