No Sleepies

Any idea what no sleepies/eye crust/rheum in the mornings could mean?  Before my eye problems I always had a bit of crust around the eyes in the morning that was perfectly normal and not bothersome at all.  Now, I never have any of that in the mornings.  I just wake up with my vision blurred with clear gunk and no sleepies at all.  Any idea what no sleepies/eye crust in the morning could mean?  Dry eye?  Allergies?  I'm not looking for a diagnoses, just some ideas because I've been somewhat perplexed by this symptom.  Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to have damaged the part of the eye that makes the eye crust?  Like maybe the goblet cells or something?
