Glaucoma can be controlled, just like how BP or sugar can be controlled with medications. You need to do a full glaucoma evaluation for your father ,in any tertiary eye center, to know the extent of his damage. Also once cataract surgery is done( after controlling his eye pressure) there are possibilities that his vision might slightly improve.
