Some breeds of dog are prone to eye secretions and other than slight irritation, doesn't pose a large threat to the dog's health. Dogs can develope allergies, which can cause itchy watery eyes. The thing to watch out for is if the secretion is caused by an eye infection. If you're not sure consult a vet.

I do not know of all types of secretions of the eye, but I do know that my dog has horrible allergies. Ever day, several times a day, I have to wipe the corner of her eyes because she gets "eye boogers" caused by over production of secretions. It is similar to what happens in people, at least me.
