Eye discharge that feels sticky is mainly caused by bacterial infections or allergies. Bacterial infections are usually characterized by a high amount of yellow eye droppings that stick to the eyelids and prevent the opening of the eyes, especially in the early morning, and also by a high amount of pus-like eye droppings that stick to the eyelashes and prevent the seeing of things during the day. This is a bacterial infection caused by improper eye hygiene and needs to be treated with antibacterial medication. Another condition is the secretion of sticky eye stool, which is common after heavy allergies, especially seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, which also leads to white sticky eye stool on the eyelids in the morning, preventing the opening of the eyes, but it is mainly white, not yellow like bacterial infection.
