Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM,
Based on your comments, this is my observation---
I think your brother has generalised fluid accumulation (edema).
This is what is leading to blurring of vision.
Yellow eyes are due to jaundice.
Sores are probably infective.
Bags under eyes are also due to edema.
Ankles swollen also due to edema.
Conclusion---generalised edema and other symptoms most probably due to liver failure (Cirrhosis).
Let me know if you've any further queries
