What type of corrective eye surgery is least likely to leave a corneal scar?
Or will scar the least? What happens to eyes that have undergone surgey over a long period of time?

May be caused by injury to the cornea (abrasion, laceration, burns, or disease); depending on the degree of scarring, vision can range from a blur to total blindness
Surface abrasions, although extremely painful, heal transparently (do not leave scars).
Deeper abrasions and ulcerations/lacerations result in a loss of corneal tissue, which is replaced by scar tissue.
Most corneal scars are a result of an abrasion.
One way to get around this (usually in more serious cases) is a corneal transplants.
I would see your optometrist to have him refer you to an ophthalmologist.
hope that helps,
