Sudden Change in Behavior, means something is going on. Pain, confusion, fear or panic may cause a dog to growl, hide, nip and even bite. Please have your Vet check her out. Be sure to explaine this behavior has never happened before. If the Vet can't pin point the cause, I would assume it was a reaction to being fearful and in pain. I think the disease caused blurred images and she did not know what was coming at her face. I would not allow anyone other than myself to pick her up and no more face kisses unless she gives them on her her own. Try not to feel sorry for her, she will sense that and it will make her feel afraid. I have had dogs that have gone blind and they do quite well. Hugs
