When I was a small child I would wake up every day for years with my eyes crusted over completely to where I could not open them at all! My mom used medicine some kind of cream for this... Now my little girl is starting this but only in one eye so far. she is only 7 months old... I now live in Sweden and the medical name I can not find in swedish to make it worse my mom pasted some years ago and I have no one to ask what that was and what medicine to use. I would like to do some research on this on the net but I need a name... if you can help it would be much appreciate!!!
ALOT of people are writting and saying this is PINK EYE BUT that does NOT last for years and my eyes were NEVER RED NOR IS MY DAUGHTERS!!!!

I believe it's called "blepharitis" My dad has that and I have a mild case. He said that's what it's called.

Shaggy, go to WebMD and on the left it says to check your symptoms. I typed in Crusty eyes. I think I had to go down and select eye drainage at some point and there it was. It wouldn't let me copy and paste sorry. Unless my mouse just suddenly broke. It does say that it is a form of pink eye.

I get it in the mornings, and I have always thought that it was just allergies...seems to be worse when its allergy season. Sounds like you should have a doctor look at it, since as she gets older, she may rub and irritate her eyes to get it out, which could potentially cause scratching...Good luck with your research!

The crust that forms of in the corner of your eyes during sleep is technically called "Rheum."

Could be a clogged tear duct - that is the only thing coming to mind!

Conjuntivitis- There are many different kinds of conjuntivitis so it's probably a good place to start

IT MAY JUST BE AN OVERPRODUTION IN THE TEAR DUCTS AND THIS CAUSES THE CRUSTY BUILD UP.
