Can Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Come Back Again After Been Removed?

Have you heard of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis before and if so can it come back after being removed ?? I had a very rare case of it back in 2012,it was found in my right eye, I'm noticing my vision is getting worse but I'm not seeing anything like I did when this was found before.
