Why does my pet rabbit have white stuff around her eyes whenever she is outside?

Can you answer General Anti Jonas hasaboxofLife’s question about Pets?:

My other pet rabbit dose not do this. We live in South Florida so there is a breeze almost constantly but I am guessing that there might be something in the air that is bothering her. After all, I heard that rabbits can’t make tears. Thanks in advance.

    Pets Feedback: well, you heard wrong. You probably have a sick rabbit. they can make tears, they have one main tear duct, and sometimes it gets blocked. Also, tearing problems in rabbits can be caused by tooth problem. Here is some reliable information, no need to re-write all this, as it is already “out there” to help you:
