Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is a congenital defect in cerebellum. It can manifest structural defect in eye result in vision defect. If there is dry eye then artificial tear drop can be applied scaring of retina may not be related malformation type 1. Consult retina surgeon for examination and opinion on it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
