If you phone up the PSPA (or similar wherever you are) they can arrange some prism glasses for your dad- or put you in contact with someone who can.

You can also buy them on Amazon - sold as “lazy spectacles”. For reading lying down.

They take a little getting used to but once cracked my husband found them invaluable - he could see to eat mostly independently with them on.

Hope you find them helpful too

Take him to a reliable optometrist who has experience with PSP.........otherwise, you are wasting your money.

They were added to my husbands glasses prescription and supplied by our optician.

Hope this helps
