You may find it difficult to describe the gunk in your eyes to your eye doctor, but characterizing the consistency of your eye mucus is important. Mucus occurring in and around the eyes can be associated with a number of eye problems, a few of which can be serious.

Small, dry particles of mucus found in the corners of your eyes upon waking is often a sign of dry eyes or dry eye syndrome. Human tears are made of many ingredients but are largely composed of water, mucus and oil. When the water component is decreased, mucus and oil stick together, dry out and wind up in the corners of your eyes in the morning.

At the front of the eye is the cornea. The cornea is the clear part of the eye’s protective covering. It allows light to enter the eye. The iris is the colored part of the eye that contracts and expands so the pupil can let just the right amount of light into the eye. The light is directed by the pupil to the lens.

Eye discharge, or sleep in your eyes, is a combination of mucus, oil, skin cells and other debris that accumulates in the corner of your eye while you sleep. It can be wet and sticky or dry and crusty, depending on how much of the liquid in the discharge has evaporated.

Sometimes it is very dry and thick and other times very wet. It will be terrible one night and the next I am fine. One night my right eye is worse than the left and then it will be the opposite the next night. After a bad night I wake up with my eyes stuck shut. My eyes are always red to some degree, but VERY red when when the symptoms start up.

Tears are made in the lacrimal duct. Tears flow across the eye to lubricate it and then drain through two holes called puncta. One puncta is on the upper lid and one is on the lower lid. These puncta are attached to ducts that drain the fluid into a sac inside the nose. This lacrimal sac drains into the nose. Problems can come up when air and fluid go in the opposite direction.

Eye discharge is a function of your tear film and a necessary component of good eye health. Eye rheum primarily consists of thin, watery mucus produced by the conjunctiva (called mucin), and meibum — an oily substance secreted by the meibomian glands which helps keep your eyes lubricated between blinks.

I have tried washing my eyes out with water, artificial tears, and over the counter allergy eye drops. This did nothing to help. I have seen my family doctor, an Optometrist, and an Opthamologist. I was on Vigamox, Patanol, and Tobradex ointment for close to 4 weeks.
