Hello
It seems from the history that your dad is having loss of vision because of a medicine.
If you can send the name of the medicine I can advice you accurately.
Some drugs are known to cause visual disturbances and treatment for them is by stopping the drug.
Hence fo mention the drug and for what disease he is using it and for now long he is on treatment.

Thank you
