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.
Two of the most common causes of eye infections are viral or bacterial conjunctivitis. Both forms are extremely contagious and cause the eye to tear excessively, look very bloodshot, and in the mornings the eyes may be almost shut together from discharge.wo of the most common causes of eye infections are viral or bacterial conjunctivitis.
