I think my hamster has an eye infection. When he wakes up his eyes are sealed shut with discharged (like pink eye in humans). Is there something I can do to help him? I really don't want to have to take him to a vet. Its classroom pet, is there something in the environment that is doing it. Although, this is the first time and I've had it 2 school years.

Having sticky eyes could be a symptom of allergy or an infection. Sometimes eyes get sticky due to some foreign dust particle in it. You should use a clean cotton swab, soaked in lukewarm water to clean it. For allergy, take 1 cup boiled and cooled water, mix 2teaspoons of boric acid powder in it. You can use this mixture to wash his eyes to rid him of allergy. But if this treatment does not show any improvement in his eyes condition, consult a vet.
