Hello
It seems from the history that you are having colored halos in left eye.
This can be because if cataract or because of corneal edema as in glaucoma.
If you are having sudden onset of colored halos with pain and redness then it can be because of glaucoma and it requires evaluation, if not it can be because of cataract.
Hence you require further examination by eye doctor to look for underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
