What Could Cause White,gooey Discharge From Eye?

I've been having a certain issue with my eyes lately. A white, gooey substance has been coming out from my eye's inner corners and lower lid. I have heard it might be conjunctivitis but i haven't felt any eye irritation whatsoever. Although, I do feel a slight annoyance when the substance is in my eyes and though itty to get it out it always comes back.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having discharge from the eyes. Discharge from the eyes is seen in inflammation of conjunctiva called as conjunctivitis. The treatment of this condition depends of the cause of conjunctivitis.
Infective conjunctivitis is treated by the use of antibiotic eye drops and allergic conjunctivitis is treated by the use of anti allergic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
