I was having a walk around Cannock chase with the camera when I say half a dozen fallow does , all in good nick weight wise but the last doe bringing up the rear had infection in both eyes it looked like mixy in a rabbit has anyone seen this before thanks. Trevor
 
It's an eye infection cattle and sheep can get, not sure if deer can too but it would present with similarly visual symptoms to what you describe....
 
Deer can get NFE (Bacterial infection, Moraxella bovis, mostly transmitted by flies). There are lots of reasons for you seeing an eye discharge and if she's in good condition, she's evidently coping.
