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.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Eye Boogers are snot from the nose that makes it out of the tear ducts to keep the eyes lubricated while you sleep. Chemically it is no different then the mucus found in your nose or your lungs. There is a direct connection between the nose and the tear ducts. According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_ducts The nasolacrimal duct (sometimes called tear ducts) carries tears from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity.
