sounds like cataracts. take the man to see an opthalmologist NOW!! eyesight is very precious and he'll never forgive himself for letting it go away.

It sounds like a cataract, which is very common in people past the age of 40. Luckily, it is easily treated with a very quick procedure. I know that you are worried, but I highly doubt it is a stroke or anything to do with his retina. Have your dad see an ophthalmologist to determine what's going on. I work in an ophthalmologists office and we do cataract surgery on a weekly basis.

Its impossible to tell what the problem is from the description. There are dozens of different eye problems that could cause milky vision.
Your dad needs to see an eye doctor to determine what problem he has and what treatment can be done.

Has he been to an eye Dr? That's the first thing he needs to do. My ex husband had a cloudy eye, and it was a cataract. It has to get to a certain stage before they can remove it, but it's a very minor thing anymore, so pleeeze, get to an Opthomalogist (sic) About 2 yrs. later, he had another problem, but didn't tell me about it, and didn't see a Dr, and lost his sight in his right eye. I t was macular degeneration. So don't let anything go unchecked!

He should get it checked as it could just be a cataract which can be removed and sight usually restored,As it doesn't sound like a stroke as with a stroke the clots can block things .

SEE AN OPTHAMOLOGIST! Or, if you don't have insurance at least see on optometrist (runs about $50). He absolutely needs it checked out soon!
Excellent chance it's totally something that can easily be remedied. Convince him he needs to go! If he's a diabetic, get him there faster!
Good luck!

See someone NOW. My dad is 79yo. He's just had his fifth eye surgery (Glaucoma) - all since he retired 10 years ago. He waited.
