Infection: Usually deserves medical attention. You would need prescription eyedrops if there is an infection near the eye.

Not a spider: Unless you took the spider to an expert for identification, assume it is something else. Find a better dr. A spider bite on eyelid will cause a huge reaction but is extremely rare.
