Hi, i was born with part of cartilage in my eye. i was wondering if i should get surgery? or would it be to complicated.

Typically ocular: Surgery of this type is performed in the setting of threat of loss of vision, impact on function or impact on adjacent structures. Of course cosmetic reasons are sometimes appropriate as well. Your ophthalmologist can guide you on your options.
