See an opthamologist: For a definitive diagnosis you should see an opthamologist. The differential diagnosis of an irritated eye is large and encompasses everything from foreign bodies to allergies to infections to autoimmune processes. The finding of a visibile change around the iris also warrants evaluation by someone in person.
