My kitten's eye gunk returned. Is it serious? Should I see a vet?

Question

So my kitten Cleo used to have an eye infection where her eye would weep and have gunk come out but, it cleared up. But then just two days ago she had gunk in her eye and it was weeping so should i be worried? If so should I take her to the vet? ( sorry there is no pictures i wiped the stuff in her eye out before i even thought of takeing a picture i hope my description is enough ). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Cleo! The most common cause of reoccurring eye infections in kittens is feline herpes virus and then a secondary bacterial infection. If the eye discharge is yellow or green and/or if Cleo is excessively tearing and blinking (indicates pain) she should be rechecked by your Vet or you can try calling and see if they will prescribe something over the phone. I hope this helps and I wish Cleo a speedy recovery!
