Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your dad is having unable to focus thing properly.
This indicates problems with the accommodative system resulting in decreased ability to focus. The common cause is presbyopia, an age related ddecrease in the accommodation.
The treatment is by prescription of near addition in the form of spectacles.
Hence I advice you to consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
