What Causes For Redness Of Eyes

Hi I am 23 and think I have an eye infection in my right eye and maybe the left too but to a lesser extent, I have had conjunctivitis before but this time I see a circular rainbow when looking at light. I've not had this symptom before, is it something I should be concerned about? Both eyes are red (the left one maybe because I accidentally rubbed chili into it on wed).
I would appreciate some advice on this.
Many Thanks,
Sarah

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of both the eyes. Since it appears to be like from infection this can be treated by use of antibiotic eye drops. For the left eye to which you have rubbed chilli requires thorough eye wash and use of antibiotic eye drops later.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
