Who can remove my fatty tumor from my eye?

I was born with a benign tumor in my eye and no one has ever wanted to remove it. It grew with me and now here I am, 18 years old and the tumor is almost touching the color part of my eye (sorry I don't know the actual name for it) Ever since I was little I've been bullied because my eye looks different and because of the tumor I look like I have some what of a lazy eye. I've been to several eye doctors who all tell me they won't touch it because of the nerves and veins that are on the eye. So my question is, is there maybe a specialist that could help me? I just really want this thing removed..

I'd talk to an opthamologist who specializes in removing cancer in the eye.  Not that you have cancer, but if they can do it for someone who does, they can do it for you.  You might have to go to a different city.  If you simply cannot get any leads, write to the Mayo Clinic and ask who they know does this kind of work.
