Dr. John Scuba answered

Specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

MGD: First, how do you know what you have? It's hard for folks with no training to examine themselves, let alone to do so without a professional set of instruments and a wide knowledge base. See your eye care physician for an exam and recommendations. An eye is too valuable to fool with.
