Is Morning Eye Discharge Normal? Eye Doctor Explains

It also becomes blurry if i dont take it out-

[@ImTheMan78]

Mine are blurry from that EVERY morning

[@lr1732]

I used to have eyes stuck shut and tons of mucous in my eyes in the morning. It was so gross. Went carnivore a few years ago and it completely went away. Actually many of my issues went away. Whenever I try to eat any plant foods; especially starchy foods, it comes back (along with a ton of other symptoms). Crazy times.

[@DrRupaWong]

That is so interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@seascape185]

I’m switching now to carnivore! This mucous eye bugger stuck shut every morning started last year.I have no idea. If I’m out in the wind my left eye cry’s started many many years ago. When it first started it was wicked itchy but now not so much! I do have dry eye

[@lr1732]

@@seascape185 I am not 100% strict but totally super low carb. I have zero issues now. Every time I add in a few more than I generally eat it all comes back. There is clearly a connection for me. Good luck! Hop it helps!!!

[@Mushroom.Madness.]

Why though, starch allergy or is it like a yeast overload

[@lr1732]

@@Mushroom.Madness. I think it is a glucose/starch intolerance. Zero symptoms of yeast overload so that is doubtful. Doesn't happen as long as I dont eat plant foods.

My eyes in the morning got hard crusty stuff in my eye lashes and i gotta use a hot wet face cloth to soften it then i pick it out. And very rarely but on some occasion i wake up with my eyes stuck shut. Another thing too is if you do a job that gets dust in ur eyes easily then u will have this cuz if u didn't know at night ur eyes actually clean themselves

[@lisarice4402]

I have two instances in my life that create eye boogers: allergies/sinus infections and a severe brain injury from my car being t-boned in ‘08. Eye boogers got a lot worse after that wreck because the left side of my head impacted the seat belt fixture while it was being hit. If I get a dry eye/allergy eye situation, I use Simulasan (because of my allergies also including medications). It works very well for me, along with the wet washcloth in the mornings.

[@DrRupaWong]

Oh wow! Sorry that happened. Glad you found something that works for you!

She gave me more information in this video than any other video I've looked at on the subject and I think her so much I found out I was using a drop somebody gave me called dorzolomide, somebody gave me that drop that used to be their husbands before he passed away and I thought I was putting in regular drops in my eyes that I bought at the dollar store and I examined it better today with my glasses on and come to find out I was using those other drops😮 that has to do with some type of eye disease her husband use to have, I feel so foolish and careless, I bet that's why my eyes were running warm liquid, gluing them together, I hope I didn't do any permanent damage.
