My girlfriend has a white growth on her eye, what is it?

Question:

It isnt a cataract. She was born with it and its a small glob of white on the edge of her retina. It doesnt impair her vision but is noticeable. Shes lived with it for 23 years so its not bothersome. What are some ways to remove this? Surgery?? Laser? Are the risks in removing it worth the reward?

Answers:
It's hard to tell from your description what it is exactly. If she really wants to know what it is, she should ask her eye doctor, who will have it written in her chart. If it isn't bothersome and doesn't have any potential to affect her vision, there is no point in having it removed. The surgery will definitely have more risks and I can't think of any rewards.

Other Answers:
I would have it looked at just to find out what it is but if it not bothring her then I would just let it be.
