Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having white discharge from the eyes for long duration.
This can occur in obstruction to the tear flow in the ryes as in canaliculitis, dacryocystitis....
Hence requires evaluation by simple office tests like lacrimal syringing to look for patency of lacrimal drainage system.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
