What's the technical term for eye boogers?

You know, that dried snot that comes out of your tear ducts while you are sleeping.

I’ve asked before and the answers I’ve heard are:
Sand
Sleep

but both of these appear to be regional slang rather than a dictionary definition.

Rheum.

Rock, thanks! :slight_smile:

This is an excellent Scrabble word.

Or, as Granny might have said: “rheum, it is.”
