Hello. Yes, because the scar is on the cornea, as the cornea moves so does the scar. The scar may become less obvious with time, but there will probably always be some sort of spot there. It may take several months to see the scar shrink down, but it should not affect Bruno's overall vision too much. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    If it was a corneal ulcer the scar may never go away. It might, but usually it doesn't. I really don't understand why you are so concerned about it. From the photos the eye looks fine. He will be able to see just fine. You won't notice any visual deficits.
