Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should send him to neurologist to check for TIA transitory ischemic attack.
Meanwhile he needs to keep blood pressure
within normal range and need to consult his doctor for blood pressure medications.
The eye changes may be due to diabetes affecting his bloot vessels and is the same for brain vessels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
