Lasik in a Scarred Eye?

8817anon
I was diagnosed with keratitis a couple of months ago that has since cleared up, but left a small scar on my right eye. I've read mixed opinions on whether I'd be an ideal candidate for lasik, ranging from "less than ideal" to "disqualified". Does having corneal scarring automatically disqualify me from the operation? If not, what is the safest operation for someone under these conditions?
