Scar in Retina and LASIK Surgery

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

Hi, I went to hospital for a Lasik surgery and after the tests Doctor said my Left eye has a scar on center of retina. So suggested me not to go for LASIK. Below are my power: Right Eye: -4.5 Left Eye: -3.5 and Cylindrical 1.0 Also suggested I may pass safety test but with the Scar Dr cannot take risk. I just want to know is there any other way i can go for LASIK or correcting my power? Thanks in advance.
