That is conjunctivitis (an infection in the eye). I believe you can buy cream for that at the pharmacists now. If not you must get cream or drops from your doctor. It is highly contagious so make sure you have your own face cloth and towels etc. or everyone in the house will get it.

How long has this been a problem? Is it affecting the vision?
If it is short term and not affecting vision it does sound like simple conjunctivitis. If has only been present for a day or so, cleansing may settle it. If not chloramphenical eye drops are now cheaper to buy that on prescription. If they don't settle it see your GP.

Conjunctival inflammation typically occurs from infection, allergy, or irritation. Symptoms are conjunctival hyperemia and ocular discharge and, depending on the etiology, discomfort and itching. Diagnosis is clinical; sometimes cultures are indicated. Treatment depends on etiology and may include topical antibiotics, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and corticosteroids.
Consult an Ophthalmologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Conjunctivitis.

Because you have a minor bacterial eye infection.
Just need to get some Chlorophenical eye drops at chemist counter - no need for Doctor visit! use for a couple of days and it will disappear.
Also make sure towels/flannels are washed reguarly and pillow case as the eyes can easily become infected again.
Good luck.
