Ophthalmologist Dr. Dadapeer K's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your father is having cataract.
As of now there are no medical treatment to treat cataract.
The treatment for cataract is by cataract surgery and intraocular lens in implantation.
If he is not having any difficulty in vision he can wait and later he can undergo cataract surgery with consultation with your ophthalmologist.

Thank you
