What is a scar tissue on eye called?

Question

My opthamologist told me i have a scar tissue on my eye which blurs my vision. what exactly is that called?

Answer 1

A macular pucker is scar tissue that has formed on the eye's macula, located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. A macular pucker can cause blurred and distorted central vision.

Answer 2

The broadest general term would be "lesion" which covers almost everything.

There are lots of specific terms depending on the location, appearance and origin of the scarring.

On the cornea there are dystrophies of various sorts,and more general opacities from trauma and ulcers. In the lens there are cataracts, on the central retina there are maculopathies and choroiditis, all subdivided,
(Doyne's honeycomb choroiditis, to give one example name)

Without a location and a cause, I'm afraid it is impossible to be specific.
