They are totally normal. It is your eyes way of cleaning itself. The matter is formed from particles of dust or pollen or any number of things mixed with your tear fluid to flush it out.

ok first i though you meant those crusties in the corners, but if they are coming from the pupils they might be what are known as floaters. Floaters areare deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility on the eye. They can cause major distraction, and yes, they are total buggers. The condition of having floaters is called myodesopsia. Think of putting a drop oil into a cup of water. It floats and moves with the water, but does not dissolve into it. Its like surface goop. There are no real treatments per say, but they are very common, and very normal. If they do become so much of a nuissance that you cannot function normally, however, you may want to get them lasered through a process known as laser vitreolysis.

Hehe, I also call them eye boogers! And I also get them all the time. My doc says they're perfectly normal, and you get them because of pollution in the air, dust, pollen, etc. He said that during springtime people get them most often.
