Hi.
welcome to HCM.
It indicates an impending conjunctivitis or a foreign body.
keep using systane eye drops..
If there is excessive discharge and stickiness of lids you can take antibiotic such as moxifloxacin.
If it is an impacted foreign body it needs to be removed..
Do consult the doctor if required. .
