Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problem of liquid draining out of the eye on applying pressure at the corner of the eye.
This is seen in case of obstruction to the flow of tears from eyes to nose because of obstructions in the lacrimal drainage system. The common cause is chronic dacryocystitis.
Hence this requires examination to find out the diagnosis and treatment accordingly. The treatment in the initial stages is by use of antibiotic eye drops whereas in chronic cases, surgery is required.
Thank you
