A member asked:

Can you remove a scar from your eye?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe: If the scar is on the retina - generally not possible unless it is superficial scar tissue lying on the retina. Superficial scars of the cornea can sometime be treated with lasers (prk).

Dr Hodge and 2 doctors agreed

Depends: Some corneal scars can be removed with laser. Other scars, like retinal scars, can not.
