Nose and eyes pathways are connected. Whenever there is a sudden thrust of water stream goes into your nostrils, a good amount of water strike your eyes from back to get out. Your eyes block it and take the thrust damage to themselves. That’s also why the water drops down your eyes and they get reddish sometimes.
