Yes. It's physically impossible to keep your eyes open when you sneeze. It has even been used as a defence when people have been involved in a road traffic accident. As you cannot possible keep your eyes on the road when you have a sneezing fit ! ! ! Ooops now I have let the cat out of the bag.

your eyes close when you sneeze because of the pressure that a sneeze is propelled at i think,

It's an involutnary action that happens. Plus the pressure is to much to take that it's only natural that you close your eyes.ALSO NEVER HOLD YOUR SNEEZES IT'S BAD FOR YOU PLUS YOU CAN POP A BLOOD VESSEL!

because of the speed and pressure that the sneeze travels at, if you do not close your eyes, your eyes would pop out of your head.

Everyone does, you can't sneeze without closing your eyes. Involuntary natural reaction.

your eyes would jump out your head otherwise, so that is why you close them when you sneeze.
