OH! NO NO they do not put the scanner on your eye. I have had two eye orbit scans. You just lay there in the MRI machine like any other MRI scan. Nothing touches you! You would get an injection and that is not a big deal. But other than having to be still for a while, it is nothing!!
You are thinking about the test for glaucoma. I hate that test too. But that is done in the doctors office. The
MRI is done at the hospital or other medical center.
The eye orbit scan is nothing!

I can only search my insurance online up to 100 miles and there is still no neuro-op on my insurance list.

I think your right "It sounds like your eye doctor knows it's ON but doesn't feel like he's equipped to treat it" (or decide whether or not it should be treated).
