A member asked:

Can i remove a conjunctival nevus (eye freckle) through argon laser photoablation treatment or any other non-surgical procedure?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

There is a very small risk of a conjunctival freckle morphing into a melanoma.These can be monitored or removed by surgery or removed by photoablation. The ophthalmologist advises you.

I believe only surgical removal of the nevus can remove it.
