If you do this it will go away after about a week. Then to make sure you don't get it again I use a warm wet compress every single day for about 1 minute. I have not had one in quite a while now. You don't need a retinal doctor for this. Any eye doctor should know about this. I use Dr. Gooch and Dr. Ireland at St. Lukes. I did use Jodie Armstrong in the past with Ocala and she is good too.
I hope this helps you.

Dr. Gooch is not seeing patients right now, and Dr. Ireland, I believe, is specializing.
I had dry eye which was mis-diagnosed and mistreated by an eye doctor in TV (now retired) to the point that I got eye infection in both eyes. Called my cataract doctor in Michigan, who diagnosed the problem immediately and put plugs in my tear ducts--upper, I believe. That corrected the problem. They do fall out every once in a while and need to be replaced.
