This thread is really old - I don’t know if it’s still relevant - but I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS YOU! did you find a cure over the last 7 years for squishy eye? Mine squishes so loud it can be heard by people who aren’t even right next to me. Eurgh! And the eye breathing thing is just the same. No pain, no other symptoms - but I am so glad to have found a fellow squishy eye sufferer!
I'm 17 and for the past year and a bit, my left eye seems to be able to breathe, it makes a squishy sound when I rub it, it keeps feeling like it might be falling out, but, sometimes, my left eye also aches, waters for no reason and I feel like it is getting more blurry, more difficult to move it around and sometimes I feel like it has built up some sort of pressure. I don't usually ask about going to the doctor's or anything about things like this because usually when I do, I get told i'm just a hypochondriac and it isn't anything to worry about. I have searched through a few medical websites to see if I could figure it out, but I think I just keep scaring myself with it. Anyone got any ideas on what I should do? Baring in mind, I did have my anenoids taken out and i've had sets of grommets in my ears before, so I don't know if that's just messed up my sinuses up or what. If someone could give me some advice, it would be heavily appreciated.
Omg I read what you wrote and I think I'm experiencing close to the same thing! Well it started for me when I was 23 pregnant with my son the pressure behind my eyebrows was so bad and anything that moved in front of my face seemed to make it worse they thought it might be the pressure of being prego and said it would go away after he was born well it did not , they sent me to eye doc, nothing then I was sent to Neuro, they did cat scan, Mir and nothing so they wanted to do a spinal tap to see if I had pressure build up and those test came out inconclusive and I ended up in hospital for 2 wks with a spinal when I got out nightspot as l I went to my Neuro to find out the results and he fricken referred me to a therapist! So I stopped seeing doctors cause I thought maybe it was in my head but I can't take it anymore! I can't enjoy anything my eyes hurt every second of the day and movement is horrible like if I'm driving and I need to use the windshield wipers I'm always agitated too and I feel bad because I snap at people do u have any of the other symptoms I talked about?
I know how you feel. My right eye is bloodshot and i have varying degrees of blurred vision which seems to come and go, with no apparent cause? I dont have headaches or migraines, and apart from a slight swollen sensation, there is no other obvious symptoms, but when i run my finger around my top eyelid, there is a distinct "squishing" sound which can be heard not only by me, but by others listening on? I am going to the optometrist this week to see if they can offer any explanation? I am 48 and in relatively good health, and this has only come on over the past 3-4 months?
Not all the time but often when I rub my eyes, my tear ducts don't empty out and make that weird squishy noise. I'm not sure what it is. Hopefully, it isn't anything serious because it's been going on for a long time. And every morning I wake up with blood shot eyes. It's frightening. :(
Hi, I have the same type of issue going on, I have dry eye syndrome and have tear duct plugs on bottom tear ducts and on and off have the same squishiness on top eye lids right under brows that drives me crazy! It is sometimes one eye or both and sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not, but I have nasal/sinus issues too and get the pain and pressure right there as well. It seems like the squishiness is more there when there's alot of pressure and pain there from sinus stuff not draining I guess and when I rub my eyes I hear the squishy sound like it's water there or air is trapped. If you find out more please post it or let me know what the doctors tell you. Thanks.
Thought Id add this to my problem if helpful in finding out whats wrong with my eye ..
I have been on over the counter nasal spray for the last 10 years due to always having probelms breathing without it.
Could this have anything to do with the nasal spray possibly eating away at something inside my nose / sinus area where air can be getting trapped in my upper eye lid giving me headaches a lot of pressure in that area ?
How bad is this nasal spray Ive been using for so long ?
When visiting the last ENT Dr trying to figure out what my problem is, he told me right away to get off of the over the counter nasal spray and put me on something called nasonex. It works great but just costs A LOT more money.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I just looked up the Oculoplastic Specialist on Wikipedia.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculoplastics
This is exactly what I need. Why no one else has recommended this I will never understand but I appreciate you taking the time to do so...
I wish there was someone else on here who had the same problem that could relate to me and what I'm going through... It truly is a living hell and its getting worse and worse.
Thanks!!
Dear Squishy,
I wonder if you have floppy eyelid syndrome.
Since you've been to so many doctors already, I'd try seeing an oculoplastic specialist at a university ophthalmology program. There are other possible abnormalities of your lacrimal system which they would have most experience with.
