Will I be able to get LASIK with a scar on my cornea?

shp46
I have a scar on my eye from a corneal abrasion from 6.5 years ago. I was told initially that I probably couldnt get LASIK. I don't think it's deep but it cover a small part of my pupil so the vision in that eye has the same prescription as the other but its is slightly more blurry even with contacts in. I needed contacts for astigmatism on the scar eye but it healed well so I've had normal contacts again for a few years Does it sound like I might be able to get LASIK?
