Hello,
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the cornea and it was repaired by surgeon by 7 stitches or sutures.
Probably it has caused corneal opacity because of healing of the wound and this is causing diminision of vision.
The treatment is by keratoplasty or corneal transplantation depending on the visual impairment.
If you can give me the details like vision acuity with correction by spectacles I can advice you whether you need keratoplasty or not.
Thank you
