I didn't discuss scarring in depth with my vet because Max's eye ulcer healed correctly. Sources I have read online say scarring is permanent and may impair vision. Sometimes the scar has a lip or ridge in it that needs to corrected surgically. Eye surgery sounds scary, but it is actually a simple procedure sort of like lasik eye procedures done on humans to improve vision.

I would take your puppy to a canine opthamologist to have the spot properly diagnosed and to determine the best course of treatment.
