Answers:
If the scarring is relatively superficial, PTK (phototherapeutic keratectomy) can remove the scarred corneal tissue and allow new epithelium to grow over the area resulting in improved vision!. Of course, as you have said, corneal transplantation can deal with scarring but I would definitely recommend PTK over transplantation if the scarring is the type which will respond to PTK!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
