Brief Answer:
Sounds like it could be conjunctivitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From your description, it sounds like you may have conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the lining of the eyes. This is usually from a viral or bacterial infection, and if you are having a lot of discharge from the eye, a bacterial infection may be more likely, in which case you should use antibiotic eye drops to treat the infection. However, if you are having any vision changes, eye pain, especially in the light, or feel like anything is in the eye, there may be something more serious going on, and you should have the eyes examined by a doctor. Otherwise, if you can send pictures of your eyes, that may help to confirm what is causing your symptoms as well.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
Thanks.
