Crusty eyes
Q I’ve been waking up multiple times a week with conjunctivitis. Sometimes I can’t even open my eyes. Why is this happening? Julia, Greenwich
A Conjunctivitis is a common eye infection.
One of the main symptoms is a sticky discharge which causes your eyelids to stick together on waking.
This discharge occurs because the cells of the conjunctiva on the inside of the eye lids produce mucus and the glands produce tears.
