A member asked:

What does it mean if my eye makes a squishy sound when it is rubbed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Air in the lacrimal: System. The tears drain through puncta in the eye lids. Air can get into this area and give you the systems. Also with trauma there can be air in the soft tissue due to the thin bone in the orbit being compromised, if this is the case you need to see an ophthalmologist soon.
