Because the order to the eye to react to the sneeze from the brain delays in communicating with the eyes.Sneeze is in more speeder than the brain to eye communication.But it is possible if you practise it whenever you feel to sneeze not to close the eyes

The most common answer you will get is that it is a spontaneous nervous reaction. Now, I have proved, as have others, that you can sneeze with your eyes open. If you are having an episode where you are repeatedly sneezing, you can prepare and force yourself to keep your eyes open. It is hard to do, but not impossible.

I'm defo no scientist but I do know that every time you sneeze you have a 1/16 of an orgasm (totally useless info there) and a sneeze can travel 60 mph so I guess its prob cos your eyes might pop out with the force so thats why we close them

It's almost impossible to sneeze with your eyes open but some people can do it. Sneezing with your eyes shut is a reflex only.

You can actually do it with your eyes open. I found that out once when I was driving through a tight gap between cars and had to sneeze but didn't dare take my eyes off the road. I can assure you that my eyes didn't pop out either.

The old wifes tale, says you cant sneeze with your eyes open as if you did yours eyes would shoot out from your eye socket. but the real reason is that it is a natural reflex to close your eyes when you sneeze

I always want to sneeze as soon as I am putting mascara on! It is possible with practice to keep your eyes open. Just imagine you have wet mascara on and force your eyes open. It makes a horrible sound , but it can be done!! lol

The power behind the sneezing action is so strong that it would result in your eyes popping out if the lids were open.

Because you sneeze at 40 miles an hour (or possibly 20...) and the pressure from that would force your eyes from your head.
