Lasik with Corneal Scar?

August 30, 2010
Asked By:bebo2412 in the UK

I have a corneal scar on my right eye due to a pseudomonas ulcer I had a month ago. I've told it is deep but is not close to the center of cornea and so it did not affect my vision. I've been not examined by lasik surgeons yet but the other doctors said lasik in the future will be too risky and no one will like to touch my eye because the scar will be always deep. Dose my deep scar ( even if it is not close to the centre) disqualify me from the operation? ...Thanks so much
