Oreo Has Eye Crusties

Looks like he needs a vet appointment to rule out any scratches to the eye. Even if it was not, excessive discharge is not normal and it is likely something else is going on, perhaps conjunctivitis.
If you're speaking about commercial eyedrops, I would not recommend this, but it is likely he will get prescribed some sort of anti-biotic eyedrop.

Hopefully will be pretty simple to treat, but eye issues should be seen by a vet within 24 hours due to the rapidness an eye can deteriorate.
All the best x
 
I agree, you can never be too careful with eyes, hope your little one is better very soon 🤞

Problem is, the only vet near me charges a fortune and I can't make it within 24 hours. Appointment only, they're closed now and I don't get off work until long after they close (and I start long before they open, I work 15 hours a day and my boss is an unstable tyrant who will lose his cool if I ask to leave early or have a day off).
 
Any medical issue, eye or otherwise, always needs a vet diagnosis and prescribed treatment.
You should not try to treat any issue yourself as you can so easily make things worse.

Excessive discharge should always be checked out.
Clear fluid can be a sign of irritation ie something in the eye.
Milky white discharge is cleaning fluid and is totally normal. Some can remain if they don’t clean it away properly. If there is a lot repeatedly then seeing a vet is always a good idea.
