He lost his sight quite suddenly & it was heartbreaking to watch him try to feel his way around at first but
he did adjust fairly quickly & his vet did say as long as his nose worked (it did) he would be okay. Dogs seem to have an easier time with losing their sight than we do.

It wasn't too long before he was finding his way around the house & yard almost as well as ever. He seemed a little hesitant on walks at times but mostly appeared to still enjoy them. SIL kept him on a shorter leash as he did startle a more easily than he used to (he'd always been a little skittish).

SIL did not move furniture around after he went blind & even the kids got better at not leaving stuff laying on the floor. He did have some issues getting lost in the yard when there was fresh snow on the ground - it must have interfered with his being able to sniff his way back to the house. They had a younger dog that was part cattle dog & his herding instincts kicked in and he would guide Boo back to the house. The problem came when the pup decided he must always be by the old dog's side, like any cranky old guy, he did not always welcome the kid's help.

I wouldn't change anything about how you interact with her. Making sure she feels comfortable and secure is more important.
