Brief Answer:
Benign vs Malignant
Detailed Answer:
Hi Madam,
Ok,any swelling inside the eye particularly if arising from the retinal coat or innermost layer of eye ball should certainly be examined by a neurologist.
The decision to operate it will be based if the swelling is benign or malignant.
Excessive weight can do contribute to eye pathology.
Post your eye ultrasound scan reports if any after visiting your neurologist.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
