Hello
It seems from the history that you are having mucus crusting of the eyes. This can be because of chronic conjunctivitis or because of blepharoconjunctivitis or because of chronic dacryocystitis.
This requires evaluation by a ophthalmologist for appropriate treatment. Antibiotic eye drops are usually the first line of drugs. Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordignly.
Thank you
