Oculoplastic surgeon: This sounds like an incompetent valve in the lacrimal drainage system - the plumbing that connects the tear pool in the eye with the inside of the nose. When you increase the pressure in the nose, fluid and air can go up that tube into the eye. Some circus acts incorporate this, blowing a colored liquid from the nose into the eye. This could be a career but an oculoplastic surgeon deals with it
