A 6/18 vision (also known as 20/60) is considered significantly impaired, and it's unlikely to improve to normal (6/6 or 20/20) vision naturally without glasses or surgery. While certain practices can improve vision-related skills and reduce strain, they cannot alter the underlying refractive error causing the blurry vision.

I have a scar on my cornea from a deep abrasion, right in front of the pupil area, but my vision is at 69. I've been using Flarex and Vel eye drops for two months will this heal completely or is PTK surgery needed? The doctor said it might be from a childhood injury, but I'm worried about how long recovery will take or if the scar will affect my vision permanently.
