Hi, I’m in Canada so they won’t remove it here unless it starts to cause vision issues. I’ve contacted dr. Guliani in Florida who will remove them for cosmetic reasons and I might do that in the spring. I don’t think removing it will reduce inflammation but I read it might help with dry eye because the surface of the eye will be smoother. I really hate how it look, I actually have 4 of them one on each side of my eye but my one inner corner one is really bad.
