Its hard to have firm evidence to answer a question like this, archaeologically speaking, and it may well be the case that it would vary from country to country, area to area, tribe to tribe. Possibly circumstances would affect what happened to the poor ol' fella, too. After all, if they rest of the gang were hard up for food, they might not be able to carry him, any longer.
I'd suppose that probably the rest of the group supported him. Even in the stone ages, humans lived together and didn't just wander around on their own. He wouldn't have really been any more of a burden on the group than a child who needed fed.
Of course, life was hard and life expectancy short in those days, so it is unlikely a stone age person would live long enough to lose their sight from old age, so it would have to be a disease that took it away from them, or say, a brain tumour or something equally nasty, in which case he wouldn't have long left on this planet regardless of whether he could see or not, anyway.

Or how about this: he became the "listener" for the group.
He helped them survive because he could hear things long before others could hear them. Like predators, tornados, etc.
The cave dwellers honored and protected him because he helped them survive by having skills they didn't have. It is a proven fact that blind folks have better hearing...they use parts of their brain that most people use for vision to help them with hearing. He was honored and made into a holy man because he had saved the tribe from catastrophe so many times by hearing what they could not hear.

He probably spent a lot of times bumping into trees and falling down holes, and running away from sabre tooth tigers etc., but I am pretty sure that he never lived long enough to get bad eye sight! Life expectancy was very short I am told.

Early humans took care of the injured and crippled, the tribes were stronger because they could work together. We have found the bones of badly injured people from this era and many lived long lives despite suffering an injury that would have impeded them.

It's probable that no one else understood his problem, so he would be scared and the others would expect him to work. They might kill him then. Or he could walk right into some other danger an then get killed. They arent very nice most of these answers are they?

Probably starved to death. Unless they had a system of taking care of the infirm and elderly. Life was hard enough, I'm sure, without the burden of a sightless individual.
