If this has always been a problem with your cat, she could have had a severe infection as a kitten and this is a permanent change. If the eye is red, squinting or you notice coloration to the discharge make sure to have her seen by the veterinarian. You may try giving her cat lysine and she would take 500 mg twice a day to see if this improves. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
