I noticed that, too.
There was no mention of Putin at all.

What causes eye boogers?

Eye boogers refer to mucus or pus left behind in the eye. Some causes include eye products, infections, debris near the eye, and seasonal allergies.

When mucus dries in the eyes, it can leave behind this sludgy substance. Some people refer to it as having β€œsleep” in the eyes. Eye drops and eye hygiene practices may help stop them.

Mucus helps protect the eyes from specks of dirt, harmful chemicals, and other foreign materials. Eye boogers are harmless, but changes in discharge from the eyes can give clues to health concerns someone may have.

This article discusses the causes of eye boogers. It also goes over types and how to get rid of them.

Causes of eye boogers:

Everyone produces the mucus that causes eye boogers. This is normal in healthy eyes. However, some changes in lifestyle or eye health may cause the eyes to produce excess mucus. These changes can also make it more likely that the rheum or fluid sticks to the eyes.

Causes of excess mucus include:

Eye products: Some eye products, such as cosmetics or contact lenses, may irritate the eyes and cause them to produce more mucus.
Dirt and debris near the eyes: When the eyes have accumulated debris around them, such as when a person sleeps without cleaning off mascara, they can become irritated. The eyes will produce extra mucus that can then get trapped in the eyes and on the eyelashes.
Changes in the weather or climate: Some people produce more discharge at certain times of the year, such as during allergy season or cold weather.

Healthy rheum is clear or light yellow. It may be hard, sludgy, or thin after sleeping, but should not be noticeable during the day.

If the mucus is very thick, green, dark yellow, or occurs with pain or redness in the eyes, it may be a sign of an eye infection. Anyone with these symptoms should speak with a healthcare professional.
