What can I do for my eye infection?

Question

I had a cornea transplant back in March 2005. I woke up this morning and my eye is swollen shut. I called my eye Dr. and left 3 messages but he will not call me back. I called my regular Dr. 5 hours ago and he is still looking into it. Is there anything I can do to help the infection without a prescription? Or should I just go down and sit in the Dr's office until he will see me?

Answer 1

A) Do NOT go to a family doc for this type of thing

B) go to your eye docs office and walk in.  You probably will have to wait, but they'll squeeze you in eventually.

Answer 2

If he won't call you back, you need to go there yourself.  Walk in, and get help from your eye doctor, NOT your family doctor.

This could be really serious.
