Urban Myth! It's easy to sneeze with ur eyes open, next time u go to sneeze just hold ur eye lids open, the only reason they contract is your muscles tightening if preperation for the sneeze. I promise you your eyes will not shoot out of your head

NO, because when we sneeze the moist air comes out of our nose with lot of pressure and also creates a sound. Our eyes being very sensitive to any change in the surroundings automatically close as the sudden air is rushing out.
The air moves up in the throat and directs towards the eyes, when it is in throat, so eyes close as a result of that. but since there is no provision for air to move up after throat, it goes out from nose and mouth. once the air is out, our eyes open instantly !
its an involuntary action in the human body to protect the eyes from change in external stimuli.

it's not possible to sneeze with your eyes open. i think it's kind of involuntarily reflex.
