Why do the whites of my eyes stick to tissue? i'll do it to get makeup off if it gets in my eye and the white will stick to the tissue and pull! ?!?!?

Use artificial tears: The whites of the eyes (the sclera) is covered by a clear tissues called the conjunctiva that is moist to keep the eyes lubricated. When contacted by something dry, like a tissue, the conjunctiva will adhere gently and appear to be "sticking". It is a normal procews, but you do want to try minimizing that contact, as it can cause irritation over time. Try artificial tears to rinse instead.
