it appears to be pan ophthalmitis. get checked by eye doctor. ocular movment and fundus examination is essential to detect retinal involvment but pain can only be due to ophthalmoplegia or optic neuritis or glaucoma. iot should be measured field tracing to be done and if evidence of glaucoma then further slit lamp examination goniscopy and dark room test or water drinking test to induce glaucoma can be done.if confirmed then eye drop tablet or surgery like trabe culectomy can be considered with doctors advise.
