So - this makes me think that my little Yorkie has almost no problem at all.
My vet can quickly clean any dogs eyes. She uses one of those curved "dog flea combs" and combs the hair around their eyes clean in only a few seconds. She said she uses these little flea combs for all sorts of grooming chores.......

I keep the hair around my dog's eyes (and along the bridge of his nose) cut very short. My pup is in a puppy cut - so this works great for us - and it certainly cuts down on any irritation his hair might cause his eyes.

You are absolutely right about the comb and how it cleans it out really fast But I stopped doing that because after the last trip to the groomer (I think they were rougher brushing her then I am) she is acting like her skin is extremely sensitive with the brush or comb and lets out little yips when I tried to comb her "goobers" as you called them. I had her eyes/bridge cut a bit shorter too, not too short cause she is growing into her long coat and with not the puppy cut I didn't know if it would look strange. Also whoever said about the once at night and every morning, yup I find the same thing so it must be a yorkie thing then & Bichons too ha ha or maybe small dogs??? Come to think of it my step daughter had a Laso that did this really bad - she spent a huge amount on the eye duct surgery her vet suggested. poor little guy, it didn't change a thing and he went thru all that
