Freckle in eye removal.

Hi, I've had the freckle/mole or "nevus" in my eye (sclera) ever since I could remember.
I'm in my 20's now and til this day, makes me very insecure and I just can't talk to people and I feel very ugly. I've been wanting to remove it for the longest, but just didn't know how to go about it.

Who do I go to? Eye doctor? Optometrist?
I've read that lots of people got it cosmetically removed so I know it's possible.
I was also curious about the cost.

Thank you.

An optometrist is not a MD, not a physician, not permitted by law to do surgery. See an ophthalmologist eye MD  If in USA find one near you at www.aao.org  Cannot estimate cost.
