Retina scaring

Hello. I have small scar on my retina in my left eye which impairs my vision. Is there any corrective surgery that may help this as i would like to join our police force but i do not meet the eye test requirements!! Many thanks

I'm sorry but a scar on the retina is usually permanant.  Did you talk to your ophthalmologist about this?  I suspect you may have already been told this.  If you haven't gotten a good answer to your question then you should see a retinal specialist.  Again, I can tell you that very rarely can  a retinal scar be improved since the retinal tissue is nerve tissue and cannot really regenerate.  Maybe in the future some stem cell treatments may be of some use.
