Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
One month ago, some iron particle fell into my left eye. When I went to the hospital, they said that there is a scar on the front of the pupil. Also, I was informed that there is no treatment for that. Please tell me some solution.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.

You seem to have a residual scar on your cornea post removal of iron particle. Usually, iron particles leave behind a very small scar, which do not affect vision significantly. The scar by itself is non-progressive. If there is no loss of vision or glare, it is better to leave it untouched. However, if there is any significant decrease in vision, then laser removal of superficial scar or a burr polishing of localized rust ring may be done
