Conjunctivitis: Green discharge from the eye usually indicates a conjunctivitis, or eye infection. See your family doctor or ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis and provide a treatment plan.

Bacterial: Sometimes, green discharge as opposed to clear discharge, are more associated with bacterial infection. I would definitely see your ophthalmologist.
