A member asked:
I am wanting laik but i have scar tissue in my right eye from abusing contacts. how much would the repair of or removal of the scar tissue cost.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably nothing: If the scar is peripheral on the cornea, it will be modified by PRK surgery and iScars from contact lens overuse generally are thin and do not affect the quality of the refractive laser surgery. Ask the laser surgeon about this and if a charge is made for this, find another.
