What is mucus-fishing?
He adds that “Some people may find [the mucus] irritating and be tempted to pull at the strands of the sticky mucus to remove it from the eye. However what people don’t realise is that by removing the mucus, the eye can become even more irritated resulting in more mucus, prolonging the issue.”Generally speaking, according to Giles, “you shouldn’t remove the mucus as you could risk spreading additional bacteria into the eyes.
"If the mucus is being caused due to an infection like conjunctivitis, your optometrist will be able to advise you on the right treatment to help clear it up. If the mucus is being produced as a symptom of dry eyes there are lots of things you can do to help including using a compress, lubricating eye drops as well as ensuring you’re staying hydrated.
