Several options: I assume the infection was only on the surface so the interior of the eye is normal. Corneal scars can be dealt with in several ways. If the scarring is very superficial, a laser procedure called prk can remove this leaving the rest of the layers clear. If the scar is deeper, then a corneal transplantation can be done, removing the scar and putting on a donor. Discuss with a corneal specialist.

Surgery: If your scar is superficial, ptk (phototherapeutic keratotomy) may be an option especially if you are highly myopic. This is the same laser that is used in lasik. If your scar extends deeper into the cornea, you probably would need a cornea transplant. If the infection is recent, your doctor might prescribe you a mild steroid eye drop to lessen the scar.
