Are Eye Pain, Redness And Dent On Outer Edge Of Iris A Cause For Concern?

I am a 23 year old, otherwise healthy girl (52kg) and this morning, my eyes started hurting. I mentioned this to a friend who mentioned it had turned red. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a small dent on the outer edge of the iris... Should I be worried?

If so antibiotic with steroid may have to be started, like OZ d eye drop 8hourly. Now the treatment is to be decided after final diagnosis by eye doctor
