Well.. to answer your question.. Yes.. the eye socket are linked to your throat... in an indirect way...
but definitely not in a way that a hard CL can travel through...he..he.

There are little holes in the back of your eye socket that are linked to your sinuses... and I guess you sinuses are linked to your throat...

But the canals are so small, and are filled with nerves... a CL will not be able to fit through...

Your dad may have leant over the sink and try to 'blink' out his hard CL, and you thought he was trying to 'vommit' it out of his throat..he..he.

Interestly, most people when trying to remove hard CL's... often open their mouths.. and even stick their tongues out... subconciously... and if he's leaning over the sink.. it could again.. easily look like he's trying to hack it out of his throat...



well UV has a decent answer...except:

the "little holes" that connect your eye and your throat are most certainly not located "at the back of your eye socket".

they're called "puncta" and they're located on the margin or flat part of your eyelids near your nose. they drain tears from your eye into your nose and then obviously to the back of your throat. no contact lens could ever fit through there...not even close.
