Regular cleaning of the eyes with warm saline water and once dried a thin layer of vaseline keeps the area clean. I've tried loads of miracle cures over the years and nothing works like saline and vaseline It does not clear overnight but will over time.

Agree with Carol, you can spend a fortune trying things it the best is Saline & Vaseline

If its just the one eye that's affected I would get a vet check in case the tear ducts are blocked (they can be flushed out) or maybe slight entropian - some breeds can be more prone to it than others
