Why does my nose run when i rub my eye? i also get post nasal drip when i rub my eyes
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyelid pump: When you rub the corner of your eye you do two things. 1. you irritate the eye causing it to tear a bit more, and 2. you are mechanically pumping the tears through the naso-lacrimal apparatus in your eyelid so that those tears head straight for your nose.
