Any cases of air regurgitating through the lacrimal duct of the eye with use of CPAP?

Yep. I've seen someone on here with that problem. Don't remember who it was.

Some links for you to read:

From the anatomy pictures I looked at, I think you may have your "ducts" confused.

The punctal duct can be responsible; its function is to drain excess tears from the eye
into the nose, but the reverse can happen, though it is uncommon.
A couple times, I've had my puncta "spit" onto my glasses, but it's rare. Kinda weird, too.
