probably just random stuff or an eye crusty. it will water out on it's own.
The person above said for you to flush it out. I don't reccomend putting anything in your rabbits eye. If you feel it is neccesary use plain water.

It could be that your rabbit is blind in that eye. There's another thing that has to do with white spots on the eye but I can't think of what it is. Normally that requires the use of an antibiotic eye ointment and normall if its that the eye will be runny also.
You might want to pose your question to Dr. Chris Hayhow at the ARBA. His email is listed on the website below. He's an expert on rabbit health.

You might consider joining the ARBA. They have a lot of good helpful info in their Domestic Rabbits magazine.

Hmm...it's hard to say for sure without seeing it. It could be a cataract, or sign of an eye injury.
I have had 2 Netherland Dwarf Rabbits who both had eye injurries before they died...We put commercial eye drops on their eyes about three times a day till they passed away...(They had further injured their eyes by stracting.)
I'd call your local vets office and ask them what to do. They should tell you a few things to try.
Good luck!

it may just be a eye booger. it will probably come out it self. you can use a antibiotic ointment called Terriymicine. it can be found a your local feed stores. it is a small tube and willcost between 10-20 dollars. it is made for rabbits adn other animals.

you may desire to detect the thank you to get it to the vet. you're a completely terrible puppy proprietor! How dare you enable this element go through for for this reason long and then have the nerve to declare you have not got the money to get it dealt with. i'm asserting a prayer for this damaging bunny that this is suffering won't final lots longer (with a bit of luck via medical therapy and not via "killing" it!). in case you have not got the money to guard an animal, don't get to any extent further, EVER!

Probably dust or something of that sort try flushing the eye with contact solution or eye drops.
