Unfortunately, most Blind leo's end up dieing because they can't catch their own food. Feeding him by hand might be an option but he may not even take that...It all depends..

One of mine is almost blind.. he can see better with one eye, but nothing with the other.. At first I handfed him until I realised that I didn´t have to.. I just dropped the food near his head & then he catch it by himself..
Try and feed him in a little box at first & see what he does..
I hope it will work out for him.. But I don´t think there´s gonna be any problems
