You don't know me, but I friended your LJ so I could keep up on the Stargate stuff. The fact that you have one of the loveliest Shelties I've ever seen turned out to be a terrific bonus.
We had a cat who became completely blind from glaucoma. He was fine (so long as furniture wasn't moved around). he just went by other senses. I expect your dog will be fine as he adjusts.
As for the major medical expenses for NOTHING, I am also unable to keep from trying such things. I have a cat now, who developed injection-based sarcoma, which is the most violently fast tumor growth the vet has ever seen. I've gotten her four surgeries to remove them, and the last time we tried an experimental treatment of chemotherapy after the surgery. That was four weeks ago, and right on schedule, there are two new tumors growing. The worst part? I know that, if my credit cards weren't maxed out from the other surgeries, I would probably have her in again. She's always so happy and bright, once the tumors are removed.
