Simple solution to a common problem - Eyelid Lesions


Eyelid lesions (eyelid lumps and bumps) are very common, and the experienced ophthalmologists at Eye care on 5th treat them on an almost daily basis. An eyelid lesion sometimes forms a small eyelid mass, or eyelid tumor. For optimal diagnosis and treatment, removal and biopsy by your Manhattan ophthalmologist is usually required and can be done in our office at 25 5th Ave, #1A.


There are five main types of benign tumors and five main types of malignant tumors
