You would see nothing.

The optic nerve is not long enough to reach your proposed location. It is stretched almost straight by the time your eyeball is prolapsed past the eyelids. By the time you get to the nose your optic nerve would be avulsed, leaving you with a blind eye and nasty pictures.

The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal, and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm.
