Eyes irritated during the winter?

A couple weeks ago my eyes started becoming very irritated. At first it was bad; I would wake up and it'd be hard to open my eyes because of some weird crust. Eventually that passed and its better. But now, i sometimes wake up at night and feel my eyes really itchy and teary. So, i go get a tissue and dab my eyes for a while till they stop. But now, around and in my eyes its red, it hurts to look at really bright lights, and sometimes there's mucus there.

I thought it was because my eyes were dry so I tried regular eye drops but the symptoms keep coming back. Should I go to a physician and get presribed eye drops? Please help. The classrooms I go to tend to be very bright and its really hard to focus when your eyes are irritated. Also, my right eye seems to be the more affected because if i apply even the smallest pressure on, it hurts. Thanks
