My eyes have been peeling for about three or four years. My peeling I mean that a layer of goo on my eyeball comes off. Sometimes I can see the string across my eyeball all day. Sometimes I scrape at the end of the string if I can do it without scratching my eye/lid to get it off. When it comes off it's a string of goo. If I blink it off usually it gets kind of balled up and kind of looks like sleep goop.

I also always have a feeling that something's in my eyes. I think most of the time it's the goo but other times there doesn't seem to be anything there. I also have floaters all the time and some black specks that have been there for years.

I don't understand ur question ._.

I have been having these exact same symptoms for the last 2 years or so. I also get little hard things out of my eyes. Some look and feel like minute pieces of sand/glass. Others are small, black and semi hard. Two days ago I got a string the length of my eyelid out of my eye that was the color & consistency of rubber cement/soft melted plastic.

I went to the doc & he said I had conjunctivitis. I used the ointment I was given as prescribed but no change.

Have you found out any more about what's going on with your eyes?

I was driving and all of a sudden it felt like something was in my eye. Suffered through dinner at a restaurant as my eye felt irritated and watery. Got home and flushed with water. Looked in mirror and saw white filmy, membrane like substance near the bottom lid. Pulled on it to get it out but it didn't come out very easy. I had to actually tug to get it unattached from somewhere behind the outer corner of my eye Scary! It still felt irritated, watery and getting red. I flushed again and again the same goop came out. Then I remembered that a bug flew in it 3 days ago. Wondering if that's what is coming out. Oh yea, there were black lash or leg like pieces in the white goop

Looks like PVD posterior vitreous displacement. Not a lot of info on it but google does have some. It says many experience it no treatments, cures. Just that symptoms lessen over time. I was actually looking for more info when I came across this post. I hope I have helped

I'm experiencing the same thing. Bothers me when I'm really tired. It's the corner of me eye, not the tear duct. It's weird, like the white of my eye is peeling off. I've had no trauma other than sleep deprived and probably dehydrated. What could it be?

Yes, interesting read. Thanks

Try looking up Recurrent Corneal Erosion and see if that fits your symptoms.

I've been going through the exact same thing. I get it every couple of months and I usually ignore it and go on with my day feeling like there's something in my eye but today I've had it, it's really hurting and when I check to see what it is, it's a tiny dot of something peeling off the white part of my eye. It's tiny but it's killing me!!! Does anybody know how to get rid of it or how to avoid getting it?

I also have these symptoms and recently tested positive for autoimmune disease (haven't identified which one yet) but I also experience pain and blurred vision..

I’ve been going threw this since I was a little girl. The inside of my upper eye lid starts to get itchy and watery. They next thing I know I have to flip my eye lid over and scrap down and pull off this skin like discharge. This will go on for 5-6 day ALL DAY ! It has gotten so bad that my eye will swell shut or I will peel the discharge off so much threw out the day that my eye would start to bleed. After peeling that stuff off it’s like a temp. Of relief . I don’t know what the discharge is or why this happens. I been going back and forth to the doctors about I’m convinced they don’t know either..
