In the panels you can see in this later chapter the distance between Itachi and Sasuke as Sasuke is on that pillar is greater. Also in the panels you can see the brightness and size of Kirin before it is even made into shape, Itachi only ever reacted to the brightness. I was also wrong before, Itachi can't even see Sasuke's last bit of chakra which means Itachi's eyes are much closer to blindness than I thought they were, he can only see EXTREME changes in lighting and of course still hear. All in all, as I said before.. Itachi was able to react within 1/1000th of a second despite the fact he is so near blind that even with his Sharingan, he cannot even see chakra anymore(he thought he could and turned out wrong) and only the extreme change in light was able to be noticed. Itachi was able to get Susanoo up so fast between the launch and the strike(1/1000th of a second) that he was able to survive Kirin.. despite being blind and near death. HOW... HOW is this hard to see??? I thought you had a POV shot from Itachi. NONE OF THOSE have any POV panels in them. We can't see what Itachi is seeing we can only see what the reader's POV is, not Itachi's. The last POV shot was the Itachi's double vision shot. We see Itachi getting double vision and clutching his head and the double vision settled down. That's what I mean by Point of View shot. The panels here have nothing like that so we don't know what the hell Itachi is seeing.

What you're doing is trying to extrapolate from the POV shot at the beginning of the fight: https://imgur.com/JJc8DVG And you're claiming if that's how Sasuke looked standing so close then things must have been worse standing far away. However, the sharingan is a magic tool. We know its powers of tracking everything was still functioning throughout the fight. Not at 100%, but close enough for ninja work, because otherwise Itachi would've gotten hit by more of those 100s of Shuriken that Sasuke threw at him, instead of just that last broken sword trick.

We also know that his eyes are fluctuating, due to the other POV shots shown from Itachi's perspective: https://i.imgur.com/tTCLpxZ.png

We also know that the main thing Itachi could clearly see was chakra. He said so. So if Sharingan tracking is still working and Itachi can see Sasuke's chakra shining in the dark it goes without saying that his Sharingan is automatically tracking Sasuke's chakra. It doesn't matter how far he is away. A magical chakra seeking tracking tool will no doubt keep track of Sasuke's chakra effortlessly.

Unless you can prove his Sharingan's tracking ability completely failed, you can't prove your case.
