chelitos

In El Salvador, chelitos refers to the crust or dried mucus that forms in the corners of the eyes during sleep, commonly called sleep or eye boogers. (While the word chele usually refers to fair-skinned people, the plural diminutive is used locally for these secretions.)

Wipe the chelitos out of your eyes.
