Hi..... your pediatrician is right. It is a self limiting disorder. It may take 5 to 7 years for it to completely disappear....but eventually it will disappear.
It will not cause any problems for the eyes or vision.
But if it is rapidly increasing in size, there is an option of using Propranolol after evaluation.
