Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent episodes of redness and pain in the eyes and you have got history of traumatic iritis.
Iritis is known to be a recurrent condition and this can cause recurrent episodes of redness and pain in the eyes.

Hence you need to get eye examination done by a eye doctor to rule out chronic uveitis as a cause for your eye problem.

Thank you
