It would be helpful if you could provide pictures but I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with an ophthalmic specialist in order to examine both the surface and inside the eye with magnification. Eye injuries and infections are common but similar signs can also arise due to glaucoma and internal inflammation or tumours
