I've not heard of this and blindness over 3 weeks does not sound like deadly nightshade. This acts much more quickly and although it can cause blurred vision it doesn't (in humans) cause blindness. It also causes dry mouth, tremors, paralysis and ultimately cardiac arrest.
If you can't find any deadly nightshade on your land it would seem unlikely to me to be the cause and it would be best to look for another so the remaining sheep can be protected. Bacterial infestions are a cause of blindness in sheep and your vet would be able to help you there.
Hope the other one remains healthy. 12 years sounds like a good life for a sheep.
