scars on retina

1) What is/are the cause of scars on the retina?  I havent had any trauma, etc.  I just had a Pars Plana Vitrectomy with gas bubble for a retinal detachment in my right eye 3months and a week ago.

2) what are the treatments for scars on the retina caused by PPV mentioned above?

3) How soon can the scars be operated on/removed?  6 months after RD surgery or more?

4)  Could the scars be caused by your doctor not being careful while performing your operation of PPV?

5) what are the symptoms of a scar on retina?

I appreciate your answers in advanvce.  Thank you so much

A scar is a very non-specific term.  Some scars can be removed.  We usually wait until it is stable.  Removal too soon can lead to a recurrence.

This should be discussed with your surgeon.
