hemangoma on the eye part of a 5 yr old boy

i have a friend whose son was diagnosed with hemangoma on his left face nearly the eye part. His eyes protruded already.  The son is 5 yr old and the doctor said he cant undergo surgery at his young age.  when the child is stressed or is actively playing there are fresh blood coming out of his eyes. Are there other treatments that could possibly done?

He would need to be seen by an Eye MD and a plastic surgeon to determine that. It's important to make sure there are not hemangiomas in the eye which can be part of syndromes like Sturge-Weber.

At some point lasers or steroid injections may help.
