My Graysee gets those crusty little suckers on a regular basis. I have a few small baby washcloths that I use for her eyes, as well as eye rinse, and tear stain wipes. After I get the crusties moist with the wipes, I'll finish wiping them off with the facecloths, and I also use a fine-toothed flea comb to get the last remnants out of her hair. That's the part she hates! She doesn't like that flea comb, but she definitely likes having all the goopy removed! If she also has some goopy crud in her eyes, that's what the eye rinse is for.
Of course, she gets a "good girl" treat afterwards.

If you don't have a commercial product made just for the eyes then use a wet wash cloth to wipe the eye area daily before you get a build up.

I feed my dog a commercial raw dog food and I changed her water to distilled bottled and now she has no eye discharge at all. I guess it has something to do with their diet.

I would not use a baby wipe near the eye as it will sting and irritate the eye if it gets in there. They do make special wipes for the eyes though.
