Brief Answer:
uni-ocular lower lid inflammation. Can be chalazion or foreign body.
Detailed Answer:
I have gone through the image uploaded. Must be having less time to sleep. problem is uni-ocular it can be foreign body Chalazion mebomian cyst discharge has been obstructed and stagnation causes swelling,mild pain. Moisol is lubricant and it is not required.Minor surgical procedure of incision and scooping of content is required.It can also be foreign body in lower eyelid.Right eye there is inflammatory condition.Due to inflammatory discharge there is sticking of eye lid. Neosporin eye ointment can be applied in right conjuctival sac.You can apply 0.3% ofloxacin eye drop 6 hourly.Eye can be cleaned with sterile gauze dipped in sterile water.In picture it appears to be inflammation of conjunctiva. Cornea is not involved and it is purulent discharge so bacterial. Get examined by an eye doctor to exclude foreign body and since it is uni-ocular it can be calazion or foreign body.You can take tablet combiflam twice daily after food.
