Lipomas can occur around and on the eye. Sometimes what looks like lipomas are other types of growth. There are a group of diseases called phacomatosis the most common being neurofibromatosis where growths that resemble papillomas occur all over the body.
I suggest you see an ophthalmologist or a dermatologist soon.

I have a Lipoma within my eye socket and, I was given the advise not to remove it until i feel it is uncomfortable to live with,
as there is a chance that operating could damage my tear duct and
then i would be forever putting eye drops in my eye.
i was just wondering if there was some other way to get rid of this Lipoma, as it is started to become very irritating as my vision is starting to become blurry and my eyes are really affected by the light.
What else could i do
It might be worth having it removed and get a biopsy pathology report. Need to be sure you don't have Von Ricklinghausen Disease (neurofibromatosis)

I have multiple lypomas. They are on my right leg, in both arms, my back, my chest and now recently discovered them growing around my abs. I have one on the back of my upper leg that seems to be tender, doesn't move either when I touch it, it is very small though. I had one taken out of my right arm bicep.. If I am not mistaken, I have roughly 40 of them on my body. Possibly more. Should i get that one sore lypoma (if its that) removed first?

Dr Hagan,
I have alot of subcutaneous lipomas on my body. Is there any relations of lipomas around the eye? Also am I at increase risk? Also can it be treated and save the eye.
No its not unusual. The eyeball is packed and cushioned in the socket by lots of fat.
JCH MD
Isn't still rare to get lipomas in the eye socket or around the eye? I heard its grows mostly where there is fat tissues. Also can it affect your vision and can it be treated.
Lipoma don't grow inside the eye but they are common around the eye or in the eye socket.
