Brief Answer:
These symptoms are not because of the eye drops.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history and I can understand your concerns.

The eye drops your father is using are appropriate for treatment of angle closure glaucoma.
The symptoms of blurred vision may not be because of these eye drops and can be because of progression of cataract.
Hence I advice you no need to be worried and continue the treatment as advised by your doctor and get back to me with the examination reports.
If possible do consult your doctor before 3 weeks only for examination.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
DO write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
