Identify Causes of Eye Mucus: From Allergies to Infections

Several factors can contribute to the production of eye mucus, including:

  • Caabuqyada: Conditions such as conjunctivitis (indhaha casaanka ah) can cause symptoms like thick, colored discharge, indicating a bacterial or viral infection. Conjunctivitis is a common eye condition that affects millions of people each year, and some forms can be highly contagious.
