No, that is not true. Scars can heal overtime.

There are many many reasons to have scars on the eye. You need to ask these questions to the eye doctor that saw you. Hopefully you saw a MD physician ophthalmologist.

Generally there is nothing that can be done to remove scars on the back of the eye.
