Contact his local lighthouse for the blind or his states program for the blind. They will give them training and teach them how to live successfully as a blind individual and he can learn skills he may have not known about before. Seeing paying and managing his bills is simple once he learns how to use his electronics as like his phone and his computer as a blind person. Most payment portals are screen reader accessible and if not he can definitely just use a phone and his tablet phone or computer can read his cards to him so he can input him via pay by phone system.
First he needs to learn how to master the use of a screen reader on his phone and both iPhone and android have screen readers baked into them. It takes a little bit of practice but most of us have taught ourselves how to use a screen leader as a blind person. Sorry screen reader. Once he learns and starts the master the screen reader for his phone then the world is a oyster. He can do everything from pain management see his accounts to get all sorts of entertainment via Netflix Spotify Amazon prime YouTube whatever the case may be and he can also order his groceries straight to his home.
Just get them involved with a vocational rehab counselor and they can teach him and lead them onto this new journey that he’s coming across

It might be a good idea for him to get counseling to find out if his reasoning for not getting cataract surgery is based in fear or bad information. It is his choice to have surgery or not.

in the middl of reading here OP, but I just have to say, I don't understand anyone wanting to be blind? I mean I would probabbly go hazelnuts if I got my vision back now having been without it for so long, but I don't just get how someone can like, choose not to have sight restoring surgery? Retinas, a tricky business yes, but his basic problem very treatable//my mum just had cataracts removed a short time ago, and she has full vision again now. **she was never blind**

Yeah, training here is essential. Tell him he needs to contact vocational rehab and other services to get training for cane use, independent daily living and also assistive technology.

Sure he must do it himself because he’s an adult.

He is a dificult person… The comments here are great, but with a negative attitude many doors will be closed. Counseling may be necessary.
