Crusty in eyes: Many people have crusting of their lashes when they wake up in the morning and may even cause the eyes to feel stuck together. The best way to free up the crusty material is with warm compresses. Others will turn their eyes up to the shower water to wash off the material. It sounds like some of the material fell in to your eye causing the tearing.
