What Causes Eye Discharges?

for the past 3 days I've been having like a white/almost clear gooey substance in my eye. It has been annoying me so I've been wiping it off with a towel and noticed that my right eye is acting weird. It feels like there's the same gooey substance in my eye but I don't see It and so I've been trying to get whatever I can't see out with again a towel and at the outer corner of my eye i see a VERY gooey/white substance but it's apart of my eye. I'm scared that all that wiping and rubbing has tore something in my eye. HELP PLEASE

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having white discharge from the eye.
This can be seen associated with inflammatory conditions or allergies or infections of conjunctiva.
The treatment depends on the cause. The treatment is by use of antibiotics or anti allergic drugs depending on the cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
