My eyes tear up for no reason and ooze out yellow milky substance?

Question

In the morning, my eyes ooze out a lot of... stuff that sometimes impairs my vision. Sometimes it's a filmy substance that covers my pupils, so I have to try to blink away the stuff. Usually, I have to carry a tissue with me in order to get rid of the substances, but it's such a bother... Maybe it's my contacts, but since I can't do w/o contacts, can someone please help me out?

Answer 1

I agree with Rose above. I don't think it's an emergency, just an urgency.

You need to see your eye doc.  It could be an infection, allergies or even a blocked tear duct.

Hard to tell over the computer or the telephone.  You need to be seen by the doc.

Answer 2

You have some sort of eye infection.  Go see your doctor immediately.
