Well, it's official. Our 13 year old Shih Tzu, Tessa , is almost completely blind. She been having eye problems for years, beginning with a freak accident when she was 3 that caused her left eye to bulge partially from the socket making incapable of producing tears. She's had glaucoma for a while now, but it's gotten so bad that her vision is almost gone. But she still finds her way around the house, although she occasionally walks into things.

Sorry to hear of her problems, but if she has been nearly blind for years then the chances are she will manage amazingly well in familiar surroundings. Good luck with her and may she have lots of quality time left with you.
