Dear friend i can understand your concern.
i am very sorry for your fathers condition
This condition is called as Cranial mononeuropathy III
This is an associated condition of Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
The good news is in most of patients its reversible with good diabetes control.
Take vitamin B12 for quick recover
it may take 6 months in most of the cases
