When you sneeze your eyelids shut by reflex. It would be nearly impossible to hold your eyelids open while sneezing unless you used superglue or fish hooks. Even so, the muscles that control the movement of your eyes have them firmly anchored in the sockets. So yes, it is unlikely you will be able to keep your eyes shut on account of the reflex, and no they won't pop out.

No. It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open because the involuntary impulses that are made when you are about to sneeze prevents you from opening your eyes. Urban legends say that if you do sneeze with your eyes open, your eyeballs will fall out...

You probably do not want to try. Your DNA sequence has this defense mechanism for a reason. You sneeze when you have something unwelcome in your esophagus, maybe mucus. If you sneeze upwind and you keep your eyes open, then all that stuff will blow back to yoru eyes. I'm completely serious.

you're able to tear your eyelids aside interior the attempt. that's an involuntary reflex to close your eyes once you sneeze, and the only thank you to ward off it may be to stress the eyelids open by applying some mechanical technique or possibly with superglue. on the factor once you sneeze however, i'm questioning the reflex could be so super that it may tear the exterior interior the attempt to close. As for the eyeballs blowing out, they could ought to come out, yet you have the ability to poke them decrease back in as they could be linked with the optic nerve. Are you doing reserch for the subsequent HOSTEL action picture, i won't be able to work out why this must be suggestion worth conserving aside from entertainment purposes.

yes; your eyes will just water, get itchy maybe, and become red...kind of unpleasant. Your body naturally reacts the the harshness of a sneeze with the blinking of an eye..just like how if someone claps their hands right in front of your eye you blink. It's the suddenness of it.

Whenever you sneeze, your eyes automatically shut. If you tried to hold them open, they would still probably succeed in shutting, unless you managed to hold them open really well. If you sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes will pop out of your skull. It'll be a painful experience, so please don't try it.
