Answer 3

Rheum is a medical term for the natural watery discharge from the eyes, commonly known as eye crust which forms a crust on the eyelids during sleep (contrast to Mucopurulent discharge). It is formed by a combination of mucus (consisting of mucin discharged from the cornea or conjunctiva), tears, leaked blood cells, dead skin cells from the eyelids, and dust. (Gross, eh?)

Normally, blinking causes this substance to be washed away with tears. The absence of this function during sleep, however, results in a small amount of dry rheum forming in the corners of the eyes even among healthy individuals, especially children.

Answer 4

It's mostly salt.

Answer 5

the stuff in your eyes is from where your eyes clean themselfs from all the dirt and different things you come across in a normal day
