Unilateral dry eye: Lacrimal duct obstruction is a common cause of unilateral dry eye in patient's. This would require you to take your Father to see your local ENT physician to have an evaluation and potentially a lacrimal duct probe, which would relieve the obstruction and allow for the natural flow of the aqueous fluid in the eyes tear film. Prior to this eval, you might try daily, consistent warm eye compresses
