This doesnt look an infection, since it has nto come in other eye yet.

Requires attention

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,

Thanks for the query.

There are only few possibilities.
1) It is a viral infection.
2) There is a foreign body in the eye.

You need to consult an eye specialist as soon as possible.
