Why does air come out of my left eye tear duct whenever i blow my nose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: There is a connection between the nose and eye through the nasolacrimal duct. Air can be forced through this in many people. There are also videos of people forcing liquids such as milk as well.
