Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I have read your query. It appears that your father may be suffering from possible Vitamin deficiency like Riboflavin and other B vitamins and possibly Vitamin A.
It is advisable to eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. The colors fruits and vegetables have more vitamin content than the non-coloured ones.
Also in old age, the person tends to not take enough water so high chance of dehydration such can cause most of these symptoms. Kindly make sure he is well hydrated with 1 to 2 litres of water daily.
Kindly show him to an Ophthalmologist to rule out any other condition which can cause vision irritation like dry eye, cataract etc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu
