When the individual is awake, blinking of the eyelid causes rheum to be washed away with tears via the nasolacrimal duct. The absence of this action during sleep, however, results in a small amount of dry rheum accumulating in corners of the eye, most notably in children.
Never heard of such as thing. I doubt any kind of insect or bacteria/virus could live inside the eye and cause only such a tame symptom as eye boogers. Heck, I thought eye boogers were just accumulated fluids from the tear ducts. I've heard it the stuff referred to as sleep as well. Anonymous 42789 Replies December 23, 2006. 02:55 AM.
