References: Apocrine Hidrocystoma eMedicine: "Apocrine hidrocystomas can be incised and drained; however, electrosurgical destruction of the cyst wall often is recommended to prevent recurrence. Punch, scissors, or elliptical excision also can remove tumors. Multiple apocrine hidrocystomas can be treated with carbon dioxide laser vaporization. Multiple apocrine hidrocystomas can also be effectively treated with trichloroacetic acid."

I think these could be easily excised by an ophthalmologist and they would not recur. I will run this case by am ophthalmological colleague and get back to you.
