It seems from the history that you are having abnormal hair growing towards the eye thus causing irritation.
This condition is commonnly seen on the eye lids and is called as trichiasis.
The treatment is by epilation or by laser therapy to destroy the hair follicles.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
