Hi - have you tried using a smell? maybe put a drop of essential oil on the target. You may have to retrain a little bit til she understands you want her to go for the smell cue rather than a visual one.

What's your goal for the target training - that might help me think of other ways to help.

I taught targetting a stick for a reasonable heel and a wee pad for the contacts on agility. If little miss is hard of seeing I can't imagine you want her doing agility!
