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.
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.
