Hot oil in my eye, should I see a doctor?

I was cooking a few days ago and a little drop of hot oil got in my eye. I figured I would wait a few days to see if it would clear up on its own. The pain has definitely decreased but my eye is still very red and it crusts at night. I have no sensitivity to light and no blurry vision in that eye. I was wondering if this is a normal thing to happen in this type of eye recovery or if I should go see a doctor.

Please have your eye checked by your eye doctor.
Seeing an eye doctor sounds like a good idea.
