why do boogers sometimes come out of my eyes?

Your eyes are always kept moisturized and when you close your eyes are shut for a long period of time the moisture gets in that little pocket in between your eyes and your nose, then the dust in the air mixes and turns it into a type of "booger". But I have always known to call those "sleet"

A search of the Internet yields a lot of sites that basically say that it's a known phenomenon, but science hasn't figured out why.\n\nThere is speculation that the optic nerve gets overloaded by the bright light and "leaks" onto the nerves that trigger sneezing.

The reason why our noses get stuffy when we do cry is that when we cry, we \nmake more tears. While some of the tears run out of our eyes and down our \ncheeks, more of the tears run directly into our noses. This is because \nthere is a tear duct (or tube) called the nasolacrimal duct that runs from \nour eye sockets and drains into our noses. When we are not crying or \ntearing, the excess tears drains into our noses. However, it comes as a \nsort of slow drip, so it does not cause stuffiness or runny noses. \nInstead, is slowly runs into the back of your throat, and you swallow it. \nHowever, when crying and other things make you tear a lot (like onions and \nallergies), more tears come through this tube and into our noses than our \nnoses can handle. This makes our noses feel runny or stuffy.

closing your eyes is a natural reaction to many events.  if someone blows in your eye, you will naturally try to shut them.  sneezing elicits this response because you are going through a spastic motion and there are lots of particles being hurled into the air.  it is hypothesized that we evolved this reaction to sneezing to keep those particles out of our eyes.\n\nsneezing involves releasing the air in your lungs at very high velocity.  for the most part, your nose and mouth can expel this gas before the pressure in your sinuses gets to a point that it causes your eyes to pop out.\n\nyour eyelids alone can't prevent your eyes from popping out.  try to close your mouth, nose and eyes as tight as you can and see how the air gets out.  also tell the doctors at the emergency room

Mucus is secreted to pick up dust and other particles from entering past your nose and irritating yourself so the mucus forms boogers with dirt etc

When you're outside on a cold day, the air in your nose is a lot warmer than the air around you. You know how the bathroom gets steamy when you take a shower? Something similar happens in your nose - water drops come together, or condense. Then the drops mix with your mucus and run out your nose.

It is an involuntary reaction.  I wonder if it is to keep our eyes from popping out!  But, really, that's just how our brain directs our bodies during such a complex human action.  Do animals close their eyes when they sneeze too?

An air pocket behind the eye, usually happens when someone has allergies or other nasal problems.  Best wishes

Eye boogers are dried tears.  Tears have a great deal of salt and protein in them (think about how you have to clean contact lenses), so when the water evaporates as you sleep without blinking to clear the tears down your ducts, it leaves behind the salt and protein.

Sinus cavities behind nose and under eyes get infected w/ allergen and swell up therefore putting pressure on the brain and eyes at times

It could be anything from conjunctivitis (pink eye) or it could be due to a foreign body irritating it. \n\nI'd recommend an eye wash as a first step to troubleshooting your condition.

It is not the looking into the eyes it is the touching of the conjunctiva to look into the eye that contacts the fluid. Now conjunctivitus (though more precisely itius mean inflamation) is a BACTERIAL infection. And it is highly contagious spread in droplets that are sprayed from the nose and mouth during sneeze as well as from touching the affected body part then touching an object then someone else touches the object picking up the bacteria which are then contracted when the unsuspecting individual touches there nose eyes or mouth. It is contained by strict hand washing and antibiotics.

The actual reason is to combat the pressure build up in your sinuses. \nSneezing releases alot of force.\nYour eyes are linked to your sinuses, and well - you wouldn't want to blast them out of your head now would you?

The reason you have a running nose is because your nose is going through a stage where you just have to let it be on its own. Mines run all the time and sometimes I fon't even have a cold. So don't worry about it.

Its to keep your eyes from popping out of their sockets! Just kidding.\n\nActually, ASK Yahoo already adresses this question at http://ask.yahoo.com/20050721.html\n\nHere's a copy of their answer:\n\nDear Yahoo!: \nWhy is it impossible to sneeze with your eyes open? \nKevin\nEl Monte, California \n \nDear Kevin: \nThe received wisdom states that if you don't blink when you sneeze, your eyes will fly out of your head. Thankfully, as is often the case with urban legends, this theory is a load of hooey. Your eyeballs are safe and sound in their sockets. For a funny pictorial representation of this hypothetical scenario, check out this urban myth page from MTV: http://www.mtv.com/onair/big_urban_myth/birth/index.jhtml?choose=Sneezing+To+Blindness\n\nIn reality, a sneeze is simply an involuntary nervous response to nasal irritation. According to this nifty science blog entry (http://sxxz.blogspot.com/2004/12/sneeze-science.html), the sneeze impulse affects a variety of body parts, including the abdomen, chest, neck, and face. During a sneeze, the impulses that travel through your face cause your eyelids to blink. This response is entirely automatic. There's nothing you can do about it. Sneezing puts a lot of pressure on your head and respiratory system, so blinking is probably a protective mechanism. \n\nThe point is that all of these responses (the abdominal contraction, the sharp burst of air out of your lungs, the general lunging movement) are intertwined. When you sneeze, you can't do one without the other.

the hair in your nose block dust particles and pathogens from entering into the nasal cavity. they work along with mucous in trapping these particles so they cant cause infections or irritation.\nkind of like eye lashes help keep stuff out of your eyes

Just relax.  This is probably just a sub-conscience reaction to not wanting to be heard sneezing.  Nobody should think differently of you as long as you make sure that your hands are clean.
