What to do if your eyes are clogged with eye boogers

A large amount of discharge from the eye that clogs up the eye is usually associated with bacterial inflammation, including conjunctivitis, keratitis, or dacryocystitis. The first principle of treatment for these diseases is to keep the eyes clean, and to remove any discharge from the eyes in a timely manner by washing the conjunctival sacs or lid margins with saline or 3% boric acid lotion. After rinsing, antibiotic eye ointment or eye drops should be used to control the inflammation, you can choose levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops, tobramycin eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment and so on. If it is conjunctivitis or dacryocystitis, it can gradually return to normal in 3-4 weeks. If the dacryocystitis does not get better for a long time, surgical treatment can be performed, such as tear duct probing surgery, tear duct probing tube placement surgery. If it is keratitis, it must be taken seriously, because the cornea is part of the refractive medium, and if it is not treated in time, serious complications such as corneal ulcers and corneal perforation may form.
