My eyelids stick like glue to my eyes

AngliholicDoes the above sound good, the bolded part in particular?

Here's my opinion. It would sound a lot better if you removed "due to eye goo". I could have gone all day without that unpleasant image.

I would suggest that your eyelids stick to each other, rather than to your eyes. When I was a child, we called the goo "sleep".

I believe that is an early sign of pink eye

Thanks, Anon.

Btw, is it right to say, "I developed/got/had a pink eye the other day?"

Hmmm. What don't you get? It's a somewhat humorous way of saying that "eye goo" is unpleasant to imagine, visualize, or think about.

"go all day without" = "live the entire day without"

"go without" = "do without" = "get by wit

Well, I had the same thing, but for me it was just conjunctivitis. It could be that.

Dear Angliholic,

About 6 months ago, when I would wake up from sleeping, my eyelids were
literally stuck to my eyeballs. Freaked me out. I've been reading blogs about
others with the same thing. I have never experienced dry eye before so I
was perplexed.
Long story short, When my babies had pink eye, or conjunctivitis the Pediatrician
told me to use Johnsons Baby Sh
