Probably pollen or allergy related. Get some over the counter eye cleanser from the pharmacy and try that. If it isn't better tomorrow or if your eyeball is all bloodshot then go to the doctor and get an antibiotic.

eye crust

Answer 16

You might have gotten something (like an eyelash) in your eye, and the discharge is protecting the object from harming your eye. Just pull the discharge out, and buy some eyewash
