Scar in Retina.

by ManaMegami, Feb 15, 2008 04:43PM

I have had for a scar in my retina for 3 years now, and everytime I stare at something I see a small little transparent circle. Recently my scar has been distracting me(the scar/transparent circle is more visable), and now I am at the point where I am using this scar as a fallback(to study). Is there anyway a scar from the inner eye can be removed? I seriously need answeres asap.

Thanks in advance

Some scars can be removed and some can't. See an Eye MD to find out if yours can. Find an ophthalmologist at www.aao.org
