Hello
It seems from the history that your father is having ocular problems because of tuberculosis and drugs used to treat it.
Antitubercular drugs are known to cause toxic ambylopia by involvement of the optic nerve. The damage to the optic nerve requires treatment by methylcobolamine.
Hence your doctor has prescribed methyl cobolamine injections.
I advice you to continue it as per his advice.
Thank you
