Why My Eye Is Draining A Thick White Mucus?
Hi,
I woke up this morning with normal "sleep." When I further investigated I noticed my eye had a thick white mucus draining from it. My eye is also pink on the outside, but I imagine that is from rubbing it. The opaque itself isn't red, just the outside of my eyelid.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pink eyes with thick mucus discharge.
This indicates infection of the eyes in the form of acute conjunctivitis.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.
Thank you
