A member asked:
Could you tell me more about what a macular scar is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad deal: Assuming what is meant is a scar in the macula, it usually irreversibly damages vision, as the macula is where central vision is captured in the eye. There are many causes, see a retina specialist to learn more, as it depends on what the scar exactly looks like.
