What Is Eye Discharge?

Eye discharge (Also known by the name of sleep in the eyes) is the combination of oil, skin cells, mucus, and debris collected in the eye corner while you sleep. Depending on how much moisture is evaporated through discharge, it might be oily, moist, and crunchy. The name is also known as rheum, and its primary function is removing the harmful waste products from the tear film and the front part of the eyes.

If you are struggling with this sort of eye problem, then better schedule your initial consultation at one of the best Eye Hospital In Punjab to manage the situation in all the right ways.

The eye discharge makes it tough to open eyelids if the eyelids are closed for a long time. The effect might be persistent or temporary. Moreover, it varies in color and consistency.

 

What is the reason for eye discharge?

Eye discharge is the main reason for infection and allergies. No doubt, this condition is not problematic, but still, you have to be cautious about the same.

What are the types of eye discharge?

There are various types of eye discharge like:

  • Pink Eye or Conjunctivitis

Viral conjunctivitis is one of the most common ones where eyes get red and irritated. In such cases, discharge is white, green, or yellow. Such eye discharge can make it seem like something is present in the eyes. The reason can be an allergic reaction, bacteria, or something else.

  • Bacterial conjunctivitis

Bacterial conjunctivitis or eye infection are treated through antibiotics as these are bacterial. The eyes are painful, swollen, and pink in color.

  • Eye injury

Eye injury like scratched cornea is the reason for eye swelling and itching. All the time, it feels like something is present in the eyes, and it might get infected and lead to eye discharge.

Some of the most common preventive measures for eye discharge are:

  • Remove your makeup before falling asleep

Before you fall asleep, you need to follow good hygiene. Eyes need to be clean all the time. If you have applied any product to the face, take a warm cloth and remove it, as it will even take away the eye discharge.

  • Eye drops are great.

Eye drops are a great choice in this case. Although, you should always use the eye drops recommended by your eye doctor.

  • Remove your eye lens before you fall asleep

If you wear a contact lens, you have to remove it before falling asleep. Make sure that you use the solution that the doctor suggests.
