Suggest Treatment For An Eye Discharge

I have a thicker than usual clear covering at the edge of my left eye to the left of my pupil - and both eyes this morning had a whitey yellow sticky discharge, but only the left one has this vaseline looking substance at the side of the eye.

I don't usually have any discharge of any sort in the eyes.

What should I do?

Thankyou.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having yellow discharge from both the eyes in the morning.
This indicates chronic infection either in the form of conjunctivitis or dactyocystitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for conformation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
