Answer 3

I sometimes get it too, most of the time it's when I just wake up or when I'm really tired.

Answer 4

Sounds like ordinary discharge that tends to get milky when fighting infection or with allergies.

Answer 5

daboon man!...x - it's just regular eye mucus (tears).  The mucus tends to thicken up when your eyes are irritated (by dust, pollution) or if you get an eye infection.  Also, you may get more mucus if you DON'T drink enough water or if you have a cold, flu or sinus infection.  It's nothing to worry about.

Get yourself an eye bath cup from your local drugstore (about $1) or buy some Eye Wash (about $5 and comes with an eye bath cup).  When your eyes get cloudy just rinse them out a few times with plain water or Eye Wash.  Cleansing your eyes with water or Eye Wash works better and is a lot cheaper than using eye drops.

Just an FYI - your natural tears are saline (have salt in them, this is why your tears taste salty).  Using plain water may make your eyes feel dry.  Eye wash has the same salinity as your natural tears and is very refreshing to your eyes  but it also has preservatives in it that may irritate your eyes if you use it to much.
