Extraction of tooth has no relation with loss of vision. It is an old myth. The impacted canine if left as it is may end up in a cyst. Therefore it is best to get it extracted.
Next Steps
I agree that the tooth is close to the sinus and it is not a very simple extraction. Therefore make sure you get the extraction done by an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Health Tips
The extraction will be done under local anaesthesia and it won't hurt much. There might be swelling for 2-3 days but it will subside on its own. So don't worry.

Simply dear I am telling you removal of teeth may loss your vision is a myth and a dental taboo.
There is no relation between extraction of teeth and eye vision. Both these parts are supplied by different nerves.
So you don't have to worry either .
Next Steps
just follow your dentist what he/she says.
Health Tips
As you are extremely concerned so I will suggest that
u can extract your canine from a ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON.
But this does not indulge or mis judge ur current dentist.
it's just corresponded to ur concern.
keep smiling...

An impacted canine is usually extracted prior any orthodontic treatment for possible tooth movement.
It is an essential and safe procedure. You can get it done from any Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and best be assured
There is nothing to worry about your eye muscles or vision as it doesn’t have any effect . There might be possible sinus perforation in your case due to it close proximity to your right maxillary sinus
Next Steps
Get a CBCT(FOV) of that region .. if already done plan well ahead for sinus perforation
