Hello there.
Looks like there is a infection.
It's called conjunctivitis.
Wash your eyes with running water and you will need eye drops.
You can use ciprofloxacin eye drops,one drop 5 times a day for 3 days.
Avoid touching and rubbing the eyes.
Once you touch the affected eye and then the normal eye, it will spread.
Consult a ophthalmologist if it doesn't subside.
Regards
