Does looking into light really help you sneeze when you feel like your going to?

yes it does
This is how it supposedly works--but it doesn't for me: Your eyes, ears, nose and throat are all connected through various means. When you come out from the dark and see bright light, the light can make your eyes slightly water. The watery eyes cause a sinus related reaction that involves stimulating the nasal passages producing a sneeze

IT can. A study showed that only about 30% of people show this trait. It's literally crossed wiring in the brain. The more intense the light, the greater the agitation of these particular nerves, resulting in a greater urge to sneeze. I don't remember the issue it was in, but Discovery Magazine reported on it about three years ago.

Yes, because your eyes close/water, and this triggers the brain to clear the sinus passage. Also pulling your eyebrow hair helps...funny, but true.
