Hi I'm sorry to hear about your brother! You mentioned you aren't religious, but have you considered praying to Saint Lucy? She's a Catholic Saint who had her eyes taken out as a punishment by pagans, but they miraculously grew back! Anyway, she's the patron Saint of sight and eye illnesses. Maybe have a priest bless the (empty?) sockets with holy water too. It may not bring your brother's eyes back, but surely a saint's blessing could have an effect on your brother's...unique... sightedness.
Also, I would recommend that OP and your family try group counseling and support, since having a family member with chronic illness is taxing, and everyone has been shouldering a burden too heavy for any one person. Take care of yourselves too!
