in the eye it's secreted from the goblet cells in the conjunctiva not the cornea. The cornea has to be clear and avascular and have a diffraction grating so you can see through it

Sleep can cause corneal abrasion, so beware rubbing eyes in the morning.

Anyone ever hear the expression "rheumy eyes"? Maybe that's just an old saying....but I have heard it all my life. Makes sense to me now. Often heard it when people spoke of elderly people...."their rheumy eyes."
