Suggest Remedy For Eye Problem

My granddaughter who is 1 month old has a what I believe is epibulbar dermoid in the very corner of her eye closest to the ear and it is attached to her eye. The size of a piece of rice. Was seen by an eye doctor who has now referred her to a specialist. Should we be concerned or is this non-threatning? If it is a lipodermoid what is the chances of full recovery? Any answers would be extremely appreciated!

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is lipodermoid may involves surrounding structures and tissues may have some anomalies, excision some time would be matter of concern due to scaring tissue, and this need to be done with highly expert surgeon, but now better to leave it like that only, let the child grow old, take care.
