Dear sashasmom,
I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD with whom you and your daughter feel comfortable. She should be evaluated to determine whether progression of the lens is occurring. Due to the iritis, a drop to reduce the inflammation was needed. I cannot comment on why the doctors feel that she should not wear contact lenses. Perhaps, you could ask them further. Steroids can sometimes, reduce the size of the corneal scar but by no means are they totally curative. Scarring will depend upon the injury, depth, etc. Please take one step at a time and speak with your eyeMD about your daughter’s condition.
