A member asked:
Scar on a retina from an accident 6 years ago, i'm 21 now, will it ever heal on it's own? any other options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Scarring on the retina can be either superficial or on the surface of the retina or it may be deeper. Superficial scarrin called an Epiretinal membrane can often times be removed with surgery. Deeper scarring may be permanent. A retina specialist can exam you and determine if treatment is an option.
