Will a ten year old rooster survive this

[4 ever Orpington]

Hello guys, right now I'm visiting my parents in Puerto Rico. They came here to retire along with our beloved rooster, Pirri, as well.
A little background information on Pirri: was born July 2007 in our apartment in NYC. Dad brought him and a few others from a trip to PR and out of curiosity, put his egg (the other eggs he ate in an omelette lol) under our pet mama pigeon where she cuddled up on him until he hatched a few weeks later. Fell in love with him ever since.
Now ever since his comb started growing in, it's grown larger than say other typical roosters and gravity brought it over to the left side of his face, eventually years in completely covering his eye. Last year I took him to the vet and he said he has cataracts. The pupil on that eye is almost completely cloudy white and this year I see his uncovered eye is almost completely cloudy white too. Now when I was at the vet last year, I was asking if maybe we can like, do surgery or something to remove the comb since his vision has obviously gotten worse and he didn't suggest it since they bleed so much. I love this little guy so much but it hurts me to see him struggle so much, sometimes walking into doors my poor baby. Attached is a picture of him.

I don't really know what to do. I of course don't know how much time he has left here on Earth but feeding is becoming harder for him, I'm sure. Especially when he misses a lot of the stuff he's trying to eat. He becomes so discouraged, I feel.

What do you guys think? What would you guys do? Is anyone under a same or similar predicament? Any comment whatsoever is welcome. Thank you all

Can you roll up his comb into a tube and secure it somehow? That might get it out of his eye.

I agree with putting him in a more confined area to eat, and maybe giving him a larger bowl or container of feed so he can find it more easily. As for his comb, I think @Saaniya is going through a similar problem.

Thank you for the response and suggestions. If he has a vitamin A and/or E deficiency, can I give him human ones (crushed, I imagine) or maybe there's some special chicken ones? Thank you.

I am not sure that treating him with vitamins at this point would help, if his eye cataracts were caused by a deficiency. But, yes, human vitamins work as well as poultry vitamins, but poultry vitamins are probably easier to give in his water. You can check at your feed store for those that go in water, and those that can be given orally.
