There is often eye mucus in the corners of the eyes

When everyone wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror, they should find some eye boogers in the corners of their eyes. The presence of eye mucus can also indicate whether a person has symptoms of internal heat in the body, because if a person has too much heat in the body, the amount of eye mucus may increase. Too much eye mucus will make a person's eyes very uncomfortable, so it is very necessary to understand the reasons for the delay at this time.

What's the matter with eye mucus in the corner of the eye?

There are glands called meibomian glands on our eyelids. They open on the eyelid margin and are arranged in a neat row. There are 30 to 40 glands on the upper eyelid and 20 to 30 glands on the lower eyelid. The oil secreted by the meibomian glands can moisturize the eyelid margins and prevent tears from overflowing and eroding the skin. When we sleep at night, these oils can make the eyelids close more tightly, preventing tears from evaporating and causing the cornea to dry out. When these oils mix with the dust that enters the eyes during the day and the residue left after the evaporation of tears, the so-called "eye boogers" are formed.

People with normal eye problems have very little or no eye mucus. However, some people have eye mucus in the corners of their eyes after waking up. When there is too much eye mucus, it may even stick to the eyelids, making it difficult to open the eyelids. Sometimes there is also eye mucus during the day.

How to solve the problem of eye mucus in the corners of the eyes

It may be chronic conjunctivitis, and the cause must be found first. If it is caused by environmental irritants, try to reduce contact with the irritants, such as reducing visits to public places (especially closed rooms) and reducing contact with ashes from smoking and burning waste. If it is caused by allergens, avoid contact with pollen, paint, and dust. If it is caused by long-term use of eye drops or eye ointments, you can stop using eye drops for a period of time and use eye drops that do not contain drugs and preservatives (such as normal saline or artificial tears). Applying a hot towel to the eyes (with eyes closed) three to four times a day for five to ten minutes each time is also a simple, easy and effective method.

The above analysis has been made on why there is always eye mucus in the corners of the eyes. We always encounter some embarrassing things, such as farting in public places, and there are always some things in the corners of our eyes in broad daylight, commonly known as eye boogers. Frequent eye mucus may be caused by getting angry or inflammation of the eyes. No matter what the reason is, if there is always eye mucus in the corners of the eyes, we should pay attention and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
