Resolved Question:

Dear patient,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
What can be seen, looks like a corneal opacity although I am not very sure as both the snaps are not very good and clear. If it's a corneal opacity we can do a corneal transplant seeing the visual potential of the eye , or else the doctor can give you a contact lens to improve your cosmetic face value . Out rightly say, you need to show a corneal surgeon .
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards

Patient replied :

is there any cure for this? my right eye is fully blind. is there any chances that it could cause any problem to my other eye??


Dear Sir ,
Nothing can happen to the good eye , the eye with a scar has to be seen before we discuss or comment on visual potential
Regards.


Patient replied :

thanks :)

Hello,
I am sorry but there is no way a diagnosis and the cause can be elucidated from the snaps.
Kindly consult a cornea surgeon who can examine you physically and guide you.
Regards.
