Get her to a optomoligst. To do that:
Older people can have difficulty relating to the world or understaning the need to act in some cases. Relate to her, and try to see her perspective. What does she want at this point in her life? Might her grandkids, etc, want to have her see them? Let her know that her family has grown and you very much want her to be able to see the changes. Remind her of the joy of reading. Tell her about new technologies that will let her keep in touch with those she loves that are far away (that she needs sight to see).
Just understand the differences between people. Saying 'dont you want to be able to see or walk around' might not mean much to someone who has seen the world change. Appeal to the things she understands and is familar with; perhaps thats family.
Hope that helps.

Nothing you can do, probably ot much an opthalmologist can do...it is sad but true...please do not blame yourself for her blindness...you care but caring does not cure incurable diseases.
