Is orbital vein removal safe?

July 17, 2022
Asked By:Elisheva123 in New York, NY

I have a visible orbital vein under one eye which one doctor said an be easily removed by laser because it was NOT attached to he bone and the other said he wouldn't touch because it's attached to the bone and can lead to blindness. Is there a safe way to remove these or is it dependant on if it's attached to bone? What are the questions I should be asking to understand what is correct given this conflicting information?
