I've been diagnosed with a scar on my retina in my right eye and I'm really worried about it. Can this be fixed with surgery or are there other treatment options available? What does this mean for my vision long-term?

Retinal scars may cause permanent vision issues; surgery is rare—monitor closely and ask about laser stabilization options.

It is possible to get LASIK surgery with a +5.00 diopter prescription for hyperopia (farsightedness) in one eye and a similar prescription in the other eye, but it depends on several factors, including corneal thickness and overall eye health. A consultation with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
