Can my right eye be fixed? I have gone back to my surgeon after 3 months found a lump In my right eye and it's not a cyst.

jane885Jun 17, 2017
Surgeon says it could be a hytrophic scar At the time of surgery he said my tendon needed repairing from wearing contact lenses it had stretched I don't understand why the left eye looks normal and my right eye is very out of place I can't properly look up and the lump is still there even though it still swollen I think the lump will still be there and it's causing the crease to look high.I dont know what to do can someone help me plz or any recommendations.
