Brief Answer:
You need to consult your eye doctor and this seems like conjunctivitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having pain, redness, sensitivity to light, watering....
These symptoms indicate infection and inflammation of the eye in the form of conjunctivitis.
I treat conditions like this by the use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to start using antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drops and analgesic - anti-inflammatory drugs.
You need to consult your eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and to rule out other inflammatory conditions like keratitis or uveitis.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
