Two years ago I had a terrible pain above my eyebrow... in the middle of open house for Catholic Schools Week, which I was the chairperson for... lots and lots of stress... I thought it was a migraine... sang for the mass, ran the open house and tours... all the time, pressing my fingers above my eye.... the next day, my eye was swollen and red - I thought maybe I had broken a blood vessel from pressing on it. It was the worse pain I'd ever had. My eye doctor wasn't in, but the covering doctor said she could see me. I left school, and went to the appt - thinking I might have pink eye or something...
She took one look at me, and said, extremely calmly, "No, it's not pink eye... um, I'd like you to go over to the hospital for an emergency cat scan with contrast." I almost fell off the chair. I ended up having "pseudo tumor of the orbit"... an autoimmune problem, sometimes aggravated by stress. Not caught immediately - could cause total blindness in the eye. I was so lucky that this particular doctor was in - and that I didn't wait! She said she's had people come in "too late".
Of course, the treatment was terrible - VERY HIGH dosages of prednisone... but thank God, everything turned out ok.
So, yes.... go to the eye doctor as soon as you have eye trouble!!!
Unless there are leftovers of EVERYTHING, there wasn't "enough", according to my mother. (It's an Italian thing - we just can't shake it.) 
That crummy pointy party hat cost me much money in eye dr visits, and medicine.When I had gone into urgent care because my eye was so watery and blurred vision, I had to tell the receptionist what happened, and she looked at me like I was crazy, and told me "thats a first"....So from that day forward the rule is "NO PARTY HATS"
