Everyday i have to remove white stringy stuff from my eyes. what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eyes: The white stringy stuff is mucous. The eye makes it normally and in increased amounts when irritated. Try some over-the-counter artificial tears. If this fails to work, then see an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
