Does it hurt?: This could be something simple like viral or allergy but we can see this with inflammation of the eye. We call ythis iritis, episcleritis, etc If it is painful I would see your physician and maybe an ophthalmologist now. If it does not hurt it can still be inflammatory. If it surrounds the iris see the ophthalmologist as this can be inflammation

Injury???: A blow or abrasion to the eye? Pain??? Contact lenses? Pterygium? See an ophthalmologist.
