We had a Lhasa that went blind and deaf at about 14 years old and lived to be almost 17. It did not seem to bother her much and she got along fine inside the house. However, you might want to keep an eye on your Yorky if you have a swimming pool.
Our Lhasa got into the habit of trotting around the perimeter of the pool. It appeared she used the edge of the pool as a guide. She made out well most of the time but occastionally she would get too close to the edge and fall into the water. She did not panic. She slowly doggy paddled to the edge of the pool and I lifted her out of the water.
