Vision dropped in 1 week

Vision dropped in 1 week (father, 78 years), both eyes, one worse. Anything related to retina here?  Had cataract in one eye but he didn't undergo surgery last year and opted for ayurvedic treatment instead. Also the dog bite him in the leg last week but the vaccination was done within 48 hrs. Anything related to dog bite ?

Hi there! Happy to help. In order to understand the cause of visual loss we need to know your father’s medical background first. What other systemic conditions does he have? Is he on medication for diabetes? Ayurvedic treatment is a poor choice as a treatment for any medical condition.
Next Steps
Consult an ophthalmologist and disclose detailed history including details of medications he is on
