The received wisdom states that if you don't blink when you sneeze, your eyes will fly out of your head. Thankfully, as is often the case with urban legends, this theory is a load of hooey. Your eyeballs are safe and sound in their sockets. For a funny pictorial representation of this hypothetical scenario, check out this urban myth page from MTV.
In reality, a sneeze is simply an involuntary nervous response to nasal irritation. According to this nifty science blog entry, the sneeze impulse affects a variety of body parts, including the abdomen, chest, neck, and face. During a sneeze, the impulses that travel through your face cause your eyelids to blink. This response is entirely automatic. There's nothing you can do about it. Sneezing puts a lot of pressure on your head and respiratory system, so blinking is probably a protective mechanism.

(1) Your eyes are always shut when you sneeze...no danger.
(2) Yes
(3) Never because sneezing is an involuntary reaction caused by things such as environmental allergies, illness, etc. Since it's involuntary, you can't control it.

I dont think it can be done. You cannot sneeze with your eyes open. So it makes the eyes popping out question unknown or rumor.

No sarcasm.
It is physiologically impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. This reflex is carried in our cerebral cortex and is hardwired to kick in when we sneeze.

Your'e eyes won't pop out. If they do, I will pay for the medical bill.
Although, you might be able ta sneeze with your eyes open if you [i]held[/i] them open...
