There are two possible reasons that you are experiencing pain and a reddened conjunctiva.
One possibility is that there is a foreign body irritating your eye. That requires medical intervention by an opthomolgist.
The second possibility is conjunctivtis. Conjunctivitis is the inflammation or infection of the membrane lining the eyelids, which is called the conjunctiva. Treatment depends on the cause. Viruses are the most common cause of conjunctivitis, but bacteria, allergies and chemical exposure are some other causes.
Either way, consult your physician for evaluation and proper treatment.
