What Is The White Gunky Stuff In My Eye Every Morning?
Everyday I am picking out white gunky stuff out my right eye only in the morning. I sometimes can get ahold of it, and it pulls out like a long string and my eye is watery during the night. I wear contact lenses-leave them in for a few nights & then remove till the next day. What is this please.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having white discharge on the eyes every morning. This indicates allergic conjunctivitis probably caused by contact lens related allergy.
The treatment is by use of antiallergic antihistamine eye drops and by avoiding the use of contact lenses till the condition improves.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank youj
