Answer 1

When you close your eyes eye or just blink, a small liquid substance washes across your eyeball. This is the bodies natural defense system against eye irritants.

The lash itself will usual flush to the edge of your eye closest to where your nose is. This is where ‘eye boogers’ are formed where you can just rub them away
