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
