Hello
It seems from the history that something fell into your eyes following which you are having irritation of the eyes associated with redness and watering.
This can be because of foreign body or because of corneal abrasion.
The treatment is by removal of foreign body if it is present and use of antibiotic eye drops. Corneal abrasion requires treatment. By antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
