Oh i didnt realise it was mucus. I've had really bad ezcema on my face and horrible dry eye lids so was using a lot of moisurizer. I thought the stringy stuff was moisturizer and some days i'll pull out loads of it. The ezcema has been much better lately and I haven't 'fished' for months. But the mucus has been back the last few days.
Its total BS to say this is called fishing syndrome. If there wasnt anything irrating the eye nobody would stick their fingers in there !! When my ezcema was really bad people used to say i should see a hypnotherapist to stop scratching all the time. That was BS aswell. I needed to eat properly and the itching would disappear with the ezcema. This is the same. Stop the mucus and the 'fishing' will stop. Bloody doctors are a waste a space. Anyway thats another story.
So how to stop the mucus, that's the problem.

I have the same thing and have been diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction...which is most likely what is causing all the stringy stuff in my eyes since there is an imbalance of oil and tears in my eyes. I was also diagnosed with a Pterygium which is a bump on the eye. You could have a Pterygium (pink bump on conjunctiva) or it could just be starting out and be a Pinguecula (yellow bump on the conjunctiva). I would talk to your eye doctor about it. Not your regular eye doctor, but a specialist. You would most likely benefit from taking Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion eye drops or taking a round of an antibiotic for MGD called Doxycycline.
