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.

I had the very same condition and I thought I had a sty, an infection. It was exactly as you described. Now I am careful to wash my eye area with soap and rinse it well every day. It took three weeks before the "bump" in the middle of my eyelid went away. I don't know whether it is age related. sigh. I am hearing that phrase a lot these days. sigh.
