Possible Iritis: It is difficult to be certain without actually being able to examine your eye with a slit lamp, but what you are describing sounds like it might be iritis, which is inflammation of the iris and the adjacent structures. This usually causes pain, light sensitivity and sometimes blurred vision. I would contact your eye doctor again to see if you can get in sooner for evaluation and treatment.
