too much "sleep" in eye

woke up this morning, could barely see out of my right eye, looked in mirror and had a load (and I mean a **** LOAD!) of that yellowy-white stuff you sometimes find next to the tear duct in your eye on my eye. so wiped it off and after about an hour could see fine again (felt a bit bruised and swollen and blury before that). all through the day my eye has been producing a load of this yellowy-white stuff so i keep wiping it off but it's pretty irritating and now my left eye is doing it too.

any cures/idea what it is?

Eye infection probably? Is it bloodshot? Conjunctivitus could be the case here too.

conjunctivitis or some other eye infection. get some eye drops to start with. if it doesn't improve see a doctor. and don't touch your other eye or it will spread

Yeah sounds like conjunctivitis. If it's itchy, thats another sign. Go to the chemist and ask them about it, they'll be able to give you advice. If it is conjunctivitis they'll probably give you drops for it.

Sounds like conjunctivitis to me..go to your doctor and hell probably prescribe you some ointment to put in your eye [I used to get my mum to do it for me] and don't touch your other eye! Might be an idea to wash your hand after touching your pets etc [if you ahve any that is!]
