Question : If I blow my nose it comes out of my eyes. Do I need sinus surgery?

Hi,

It's not possible that after blowing your nose, the secretions come out through the eyes unless and until there is severe trauma, which causes fractures of the floor of the orbit.

Most probably you are having severe sinusitis which is causing fullness in the frontal sinuses. You must consult ENT Specialist for proper examination. If necessary, few investigations may be done like X-ray PNS and CT Scan PNW. However it can be decided after clinical examination too.

Hope I have addressed your query. If you have further concerns, please let me know.

Regards.
