Its common name is 'sleep'. It is just build up of waxy secretions from the lid glands which during the day is blinked and flushed away by tears. Strangely I have never heard an alternative medical name for it. This is unusual since we doctors usually like to give everything a fancy name.

The only time I ever got in any kind of trouble as a nurse was for charting that stuff as "gunk". I was supposed to chart it instead as " . . .a soft yellow mucoid discharge." I haven't stopped laughing over THAT idiotic career choice yet. : )

Forget about stuff in eyes because you are having infection in your eyes creating that stuff. Take Gentamycin eye drop & apply 4 drops in each eye three times a day. Wash your eyes properly.

as said before we call it sleep in the uk... i presume it is a build up of normal eye secretions, during the day we blink them away but when asleep it accumulates in the corner of your eyes.
