Eye boogers and nose boogers are similar because they are made of the same mucus and bacteria that makes both eye boogers and nose boogers.
However the eye boogers contain less bacteria and the only real difference between your eye boogers and your nose boogers is in how the boogers come out of your body.
The nose boogers come out of your nose and contain a lot more bacteria, germs etc and your eye boogers come out of your eyes and contain less bacteria and germs.
The eye boogers are there to close your eyes and act like a glue to keep your eye lids closed.
The nose boogers build up in your nose because it's trying to get rid of bacteria and the mucus in your nose.
It's still not a good idea to eat the eye boogers but the eye boogers are less gross than the nose boogers.
