Eye ?

So yesterday my eye was a little swollen, runny and red. Just woke up to nurse Mira and felt pain in the eye. So I look in the mirror and see my eye is almost swollen shut. See scary pic excuse the hair. I don't have an eye doctor here. Would you go to your regular doctor or try to get in with an eye doctor. If eye dr optometrist or ophthalmologist?
Thanks!

So my primary doctor couldn't see me until 3 pm so I called around and got seen by an eye doctor. It cost $58 plus $15 for eye drops but I used our flex spending card. I have an internal stye, an allergic reaction, and an infection. I have to do warm compresses and two different eye drops. They said it could take over a week to be back to normal and that I need to do a special wash routine for both eyes while we are in GA to help with my allergy reactions.

Thanks everybody!

Thanks Ladies.
Roo- Hmm I wonder if the tea bag compress would help my stye. My stye is internal which means it's on the underside of my eyelid. The eye doctor could see it with special drops and his special machine thing. I've had styes on the outer edge by my lashes and had no idea you could get one internally.
