You will not feel pain during the procedure.  There will be discomfort during the healing.  The success depends on the amount of scaring.

Thanks Dr. O. I would like to know your opinion as to whether this procedure could make my eye worse.  Is there a chance this could happen? My dr thinks it will help, but it is my eye and I am very nervour as to the outcome. It would be great if it helps me, but like I said could it make things worse.
Your opinion please.
