Default Searching for cornea eye specialist

For the treatment of Salzmann Nodules (removal).
The doctor at St. Luke's here in TV referred us to one in Clermont who we went to see and have his diagnosis and recommendations.

We are now looking for a second opinion.
I did check with St. Luke's for another recommendation. They said to check UF....which I pursued. They are on Medicaid/cash only basis (not a deterrent) but they are a walk-in system only....you must arrive by 7 am each day to participate in a lottery drawing to be seen....
No Thanx!!!!!!!!

This is the first medical need we have ever had with such a limited availability (of optholmologists who specialize in the cornea).

Any recommendations for cornea specialist/optholmologist or experience with salzmann nodules would be appreciated.
I have been working google hard to no avail.....so far.
