Macular degeneration, help!?

My father has Macular Degeneration.
His right eye has been really affected, he sees a big blur in front of any image.
He went to Brazil to be treated for a few times (he doens't have insurance here, so he went there where he can get medical services under his insurance there.)
He doens't work, and he has a hard time doing many tasks. I'm trying to help, I want to do anything to help!
Can anyone tell me how to go about insurance? Which insurance could he get? Which ones are good?
We are in Massachusetts.

Note: Many would think: How come he goes to Brazil a few times when he doens't work, well all the expenses were covered by friends and relatives.

Thank you.

SERIOUS RESPONSES ONLY!

Macular degeneration is part and parcel of the aging process. I was hoping to pass, but I succumbed like my siblings, we all need reading glasses.
