Film/Mucus Suggestions

Hello, I have a film/mucus in my eyes that is causing glare/starburst/ghosting issues (mainly with lights).  I've seen an optometrist and two ophthalmologists and they all say my eyes are very healthy and suggest artificial tears and allergy drops.  Well, the allergy drops seem to be helping some with the itch but no drop fixes my vision problems (glare/starburst/ghosting).  The film/mucus is the worst in the morning but never fully goes away.  I can see it in the mirror sliding up my eye every time I blink.  Any suggestions on what i should do?  The artificial tears and allergy drops do nothing for my visual distortions.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks a lot.  ;}

Get a second opinion from a corneal/external disease specialist. Find one near you at www.aao.org

I've had mucus in my eyes for about a year and I was attributing it to Bells Palsy which I've had for 1 and a half years.  I did see an opthomologist but I was told it was Blepharitis and nothing could be done except to keep the eyelids clean and apply warm towels on them 3 times a day.  I've done this but it has not gotten any better.  I'm very tired of excessive blinking and the mucus and stringy stuff that comes out of my eyes.  What else can I do?  Thank you.

I can't do anything from here. No suggestions. If continues see a neuroophthalmologist or corneal Eye MD
