Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
The problem could be mucoid conjunctival discharge, corneal edema or lens edema( or lamellar separation)

All these conditions act like prism splitting white light into primary colors.

Mucoid discharge : problem resolves with cleaning of discharge , which can be checked by self. Get treatment for cause.

Corneal edema : more likely especially as you mentioned sore eye, will also be associated with pain photophobia reddness .

Lens edema : will have haziness, colored halos but usually not associated with sore eye or pain.

Kindly consult ophthalmologist and get treated accordingly.
