Q: Scar on retina
asked by: sharedo on September 2nd, 2008

At my most recent eye test my optician told me that she found a slight scar on my retina in my right eye so I'm going to go to hospital soon to have it properly checked out there. She told me that it isn't anything to really worry about but as this is the first time anyone has spotted this she wants to check that everything is okay. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before? I haven't experienced any problems with my vision and my optician told me to go straight to hospital if I notice a sudden increase in floaters but luckily I've never had any problems with the few floaters I have, I barely notice them unless I look for them so hopefully this will continue. She also told me that it could just be natural degeneration or something to do with the pigmentation - has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Would that be something that would need to be fixed?

Personally if your vision is good in this right eye I wouldnt let anyone do anything to that retina. In fact if someone wants to do any type of surgery on this retina-due to this "scar"-get a second opinion. It is a good idea to get checked by a specialist to be certain it is only a scar and not the beginning of a detachement. Like I said-if your vision is good, meaning normal, and it is only a scar, don't let them do surgery. Good luck-hope everything is fine!!!

Take care.
