Conjunctival Nevus (Eye Freckle) Laser Removal | One Eye

At ROQUE Eye Clinic, we can remove conjunctival nevi if it is cosmetically unacceptable to the patient. This is performed for benign conjunctival melanotic lesions only. If a lesion is suspected to be potentially malignant, such as in cases of melanoma, then an excision biopsy will be recommended instead. This will entail surgical removal of the pigmented lesion with histopathologic analysis. 1. This published rate is the professional fee for one of two possible treatment zones per eye. 2. Each eye has a nasal treatment zone and a temporal treatment zone. Take a look at the gallery image to view each treatment zone. 3. The facility fee for using the laser machine per eye is paid directly at the hospital billing section. 4. Pre-operative evaluation, post-laser medications, and post-operative evaluations are excluded. 5. Results may vary per individual. 6. Additional treatments may be necessary.
