Brief Answer:
You may consider surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The treatment of the scar in the macula is usually surgery. It is an outpatient surgery. It is done with local anesthesia and involves peeling off the cellophane-like scar tissue. I recommend to consult a surgeon ophthalmologist for further evaluation.
