Treatment possible: Steroid eye drops may thin the scar with time, depending on the status of vision correction treatment called ltk may be possible. If the scar is advanced the only way to remove it is with a cornea transplant.

Probably: depending on the reason for the scar and its exact location, corneal surgery or even a corneal transplant can often be done. You need to try to find a good corneal surgeon and go for a consult
