[Everything doTERRA] Pinguecula - pls help

I have a friend that has pinguela. It is growing and not only affecting her vision but also causing her discomfort. I was thinking that maybe Frankinsense along the eye bone would help. Anyone have experience with this or any suggestions? Her Dr. recommended having surgery and using steroid eyedrops in the meantime. She doesn't want to do either one of those and has asked me for help. I found this information on pub med:

Symptoms

A pinguecula is a small, yellowish nodule on the conjunctiva near the cornea. It can appear on either side of the cornea, but tends to appear more on the nose (nasal) side. It may increase in size over many years.

Treatment

Usually no treatment is needed. Lubrication with artificial tears, and sometimes the temporary use of mild steroid eye drops can be helpful. Rarely, the growth may need to be removed if you have discomfort or for cosmetic reasons

Blessings,

Katie
