Hello
It seems from the history that your dad is diagnosed with glaucoma. As shown by OCT he is having narrow angle glaucoma.
The treatment for angle closure glaucoma is initially by laser peripheral iridotomy and if still intraocular pressure is high it requires treatment by anti glaucoma drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult glaucoma specialist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
