I'm really worried about my dad's eye condition. He went to the hospital by himself, and he's saying he needs to use atropine in the morning and at night, one drop each time, and moxifloxacin every hour. That sounds right according to the doctor's instructions, but I'm confused because as per the prescription, he's also supposed to use itraconazole and natamycin every hour. My dad is telling me the doctor advised him to start those only after finishing atropine and moxifloxacin. I'm 600 km away and it's stressing me out not being there to help. Can you help me make sense of what should be done first?

I've attached the topography reports my doctor gave me, and they've suggested I should go for TPRK CXL in my left eye. My right eye has a vision of 66 with a 0.5 sph, so the doctor recommended waiting for three months before taking any action. Im a bit concerned and have a few questions. Is it common to have thin corneas from a young age? How long do I need to rest after this procedure? And what exactly is TPRK, especially considering my thin corneas? Could you help me understand what the reports are showing?
