Hello,
I think optometrist only cannot help, you need to see an eye specialist. If no foreign object, then it might be related to irritation and blood vessels of the eye, possibly from allergies. Continue warm compresses, rinse eyes with chamomile tea , and apply the eye drops until you see the eye specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
