Brief Answer:
Retinopathy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank for your follow up.

There may be a chance of vitreous hemorrhage because of diabetic retinopathy, as your fatheris a diabetic. You have to consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation. Unless ophthalmologist checks the retina, we cant come to a conclusion.
Get back to me if any query.
