Moles of the back of the eye are called choroidal nevi  the great majority are benign. Some are malignant but they are usually low grade malignant.  High grade malignant moles are rare but are treated with removal of the eye, radiation therapy, or other major methods.

Look relax until you see the next ophthalmologist. These RARELY need to be treated.
