A crusty eye with a swollen upper lid should be checked by an eye doctor, especially if it’s worsening. I searched for ophthalmologists in White Plains, NY 10601; see the results below.
Until you’re seen, avoid rubbing the eye, contact lenses, and eye makeup. Wash your hands and use a clean, warm compress.
Get urgent same-day care—or go to an ER for severe symptoms—if you have vision changes, severe pain, pain when moving the eye, fever, rapidly spreading redness or swelling, or trouble opening the eye. Otherwise, call one of the results below and ask for the earliest eye-problem visit.
