One official name for eye boogers is rheum. Rheum is the natural discharge of the eye, formed from a combination of mucus, tears, dust, and even skin cells from the eyelids. The eye produces rheum all dayâ¦ so why does it build up overnight? When weâre awake, blinking washes rheum and tears away so we donât get a buildup of sleepies.
COMMON CAUSES OF ABNORMAL EYE DISCHARGE. Conjunctivitis: Also known as pink eye, conjunctivitis will cause your eyes to feel itchy, irritated, and gritty, and produces green, white, or yellow eye mucus that results in severe crusting.
