Why does eye booger form?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Mucus!: Usually eye boogers come from dried mucus or oil buildup. This can be a symptom of blepharitis or dry eye. Try washing it out with warm water and using artificial tears - if this doesn't clear it up in a few days, see an ophthalmologist.
