From the article: Eye Mucus Types
Everyone has a name for it, that mucus discharge that sometimes collects in the corners of our eyes. Eye mucus can be caused by simple eye irritation or, more seriously, eye infection. If you've ever had to deal with eye mucus, what did your eyes feel like? How would you describe it? Share your experiences with (and nasty namesakes for) eye mucus.

Help!
- My 5-year-old daughter has green goop coming out of her left eye. It's red and glossy and she has a little bit of a fever and a runny nose, and a bit of a cough. She says her eye doesn't hurt her. What do I do? What is it?

Mucus
- Ive been sick for 2 weeks and slowly recovering. The last 3 days I have been getting dried mucus, slimy in the eyes, and in the inner corner. What is causing it? Should I go to a doctor? I also have been coughing mucus a whole lot too. Help!

Toxic eye ooze
- The ooze that comes out of my eye actually caused a cut on the outside of my eye and is very painful.

Clearish yellow mucus
- I have had excessive watering during the day, but at night it builds up into a thick yellowish clear mucus. It's been getting worse over the last two weeks. I'm a little worried about loss of eyesight but my vision is okay during the day after I clean the mucus that sealed them shut overnight.

Mucus
- Well it's not me but my mom...her eye produces a thick slimey water and then she cannot see clearly. She went to several doctors but not much help. I really need some advice. She sometimes feels like she is going to lose her sight. I am very scared if that should ever happen.
