10 Eye Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Crusting
Have you ever woken up in the morning to find that there is a crust on your eyelashes? This is a result of discharge, often tears, that have leaked out from the eyes as you were sleeping. This discharge then dries to form the crust that we find, and it can sometimes bind our eyelashes together, making it difficult for us to open our eyes.
This crusting on the eyelids and eyelashes is a fairly common symptom of eye infections. The crust is easy to wash away with warm water, although it can return again from time to time. The crusting itself is harmless, and the symptom should disappear once the infection has been cured.
