He said he has another yorkie, but the ad says he is moving and the new place doesn't accept pets. That's strange. Well, all the discrepancies aside, even if this dog was from a reputable rescue, you still wouldn't really "know" the medical behind the dog. Many if not MOST people who surrender their dogs purposely omit, don't mention, or outright lie about the condition of their dogs. When you rescue, it's always a crapshoot. That's why we in rescue are so careful and choosy about who gets our dogs. And then people who get turned down get so upset when they don't get the dog they want right away. There are many many factors to weigh in.
That being said, I've fostered an almost fully blind dog Dakota, also blinded from accident (missing one eye from attack, the other partially clouded my cataract) and I think blind dogs are amazing and very loving once you earn their trust.
If it were me I'd take the dog asap, and worry later if I was going to keep her or not.
