You are describing mucus strands. They are made from slimy tear secretions combined with surface cells from the moist conjunctiva. Most people with these strands have clinically dry eyes. The mucus is prominent because there is inadequate water in the tear film to dilute the mucus.

Eyelid irritation may be related to your mucus strands as well. My suggestion is to let an experienced ophthalmologist perform a full assessment to determine what will work best to give you.
