Family illness: Your father, or his doctor know what this is, particularly if he has been treated effectively. Ask them. It is impossible to say what is causing these symptoms without a more complete history, records of testing and an exam. Glad that you are concerned about him. Tell him and help guide him to assistance. Good luck.

Hard to tell: It's hard to tell given they symptoms you describe. Typically, eye conditions which produce pain do not cause loss of balance. It sounds like he is already on medication for his balance, but you should follow-up with his treating physician to be sure. Also bring him to the ophthalmologist to get tot he bottom of the eye pain. Good luck!

Eye pain and balance: Other than a virus, there are few problems that would cause both issues. For the short term, i suggest lots of fluids and rest. If still having problems, your father should see his primary care doctor.Eye.
