Hi, it appears that it is only blepheritis, with inflammation, swelling, and pain , which also can cause pain of the eyeball, in glaucoma the pain of the eye ball is even when it is at rest.
I advise you to consult an ophthalmic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Don't worry, and thanks for calling.
