Has you/his vet ever mentioned "dry eye"?  That is a common problem and can be treated with an ointment.  I'll guess dry eye is worse with age and perhaps with blindness.

That's all that occurs to me.  Hope you get more time with you Terrier, but 16 is old even for a small terrier.  Be ready for what will come.
