I have a eye question?

Question

Hmmm how do I word this?

-drums fingers on desk-

Hokay, you know how you sometimes get those "eye boogers" (crusty yellowish things.....eww) in your eyes after sleeping what are they, does it have a name

Answer 1

We always called them "sleepy men"  I don't know why, it just what I have always heard.  I also have heard of the others above.  My daughter when she was little use to call them sleepy girls, just cause she liked that better.  Funny Huh.

Answer 2

Mucous. The eye has 3 types of tears. 1) Oily tears to move your eyes like greased ballbearings. 2) Water- sad or happy or if something is in your eye or feels like it is your eye, the waterworks start. 3) Mucous- usually when your eye is chronically irritated. For example, after working in a dusty environment.

Answer 3
