basically the stuff could just be gunk, if your cat is long haired and/or flat faced its eye might be irritated from fur coming into contact with the eyes cornea, and thats just a reflex to get stuff out of the eye. wash your cats eyes every day just to be sure bacteria doesnt get into the eye and infect it.
however, if your cat is sneezing or you notice pus take them to the vet because this could suggest something like conjunctivitis secondary (infection of the underside of the eye) or upper respiratory infection, aka URI. if its URI your vet will usually give you antibiotic drops for the eyes or oral medicine.
also monitor your cats drinking because if theyre drinking (and peeing) heaps this is a sign that they could be ill with Diabetes or something, so take them to the vet as well. if theyre eye is closing up this is a sure sign theyre in pain and you should take them to a vet as well.
i hope that its nothing serious! this happened to my cat too, luckily it was just normal gunk :3

It has an eye infection. Call a vet right away, as this (in extreme cases) can lead to blindness and is HIGHLY contagious. The vet may want you to not bring the cat in due to the risk of it spreading. It is easily treatable with antibiotic drops, obtainable from a vet. My reasoning behind being so aggressive with the treatment in that feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) (a deadly disease) can first present with weepy, crusty eyes. In this physician's opinion, leave the treatment to a trained professional, a veterinarian. Home treatment can just prolong the illness.
Your kitten probably has an upper respiratory virus. Your Veterinarian should check over your kitten. She might also have something in her eye, but it is probably an upper respiratory virus. Take your kitten in to be checked out by your Veterinarian
go to vet and get antibiotics if eye runs excessively or doesn't clear up in a day or two
The cat could be allergic to something, or could have something that's bothering its eyes,
or could be albino if it has white fur
Sounds like an eye infection, take it to a vet
take it to the vet

That he is not only very glad to see her, but that she is so attractive that she could soothe sore eyes.
If by 'pink eye' you mean red, watery eyes, then it sounds like an allergic reaction. Grass, trees, etc.
my question is what is the meaning of sore eyes?

Bleaky is the word for sore and red around the eyes.
Sore eyes can come from a few different things such as dry eyes, allergies and over straining your eyes. Contact lenses are known to cause dry eyes, making them itch and feel sore. Scratching your eyes, whether due to allergies or dry eyes can cause them to become sore, red and irritated. Staring at a computer screen or anything for a long period of time can also cause sore eyes.
An eyesore is something that is unattractive to look at, ugly. Makes your eyes sore..
It depends what is causing the pain. Sore eyes are the symptoms, but the cause is what can have additional effects.
