What Do Jelly Like Substance And Itchy Eyes Indicate?

HI, my eye was itchy before I slept so I rubbed it a few times. However, I also happen to have some colds so maybe my hands weren t very clean when I rubbed my eyes. When I woke up, there is a jelly-like thing that showed up in he corner of my eye!Im very scared. What do I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to conjunctivitis which is an infection of the conjunctiva. I recommend to use artificial tears to lubricate the area. I also suggest to maintain a good hygiene. If the symptoms continue, you should use antibiotic eye drops to treat the infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
