I have a scar in my eye. can i still get contacts?

Depends: Where the corneal scar is, how big the scar is how long you've had the scar, and how good your tear film is. So that the contact lenses won't irritate your eyes further. So get an eye doctor consult to have it further evaluated, whether you're a good candidate for contact lenses or not.
