Here is a brief post about the pros and cons of both: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/3720137-post7.html

As the post indicates, removal means you will probably have to deal with dry eye because one of the tear ducts will be taken out. Dry eye requires daily drops to prevent corneal ulcers and other problems.

The tuck is not always a permanent fix.

I highly recommend going to an ophthalmologist for this. I've read really old threads on YT of successful surgeries, but I don't recall anyone mentioning which method they used.

How long has Bella had the cherry eye?
