why can't we open our eyes while sneezing??

Question

anonymous · Answer

well,.because ur body instinctively  closes ur eyes to prevent u from dislodging ur eyeballs from they're sockets.the sudden and abrupt change in the pressure in ur sinus can actually cause this to happen.

anonymous · Answer

hear that if you do, your eyeballs will pop out. pretty risky

aroub · Answer

but not always pop out, that day i saw someone sneezing with his eyes open!!! 

but i guess if that someone keeps on doing it ... it will be risky as gary said..!!

anonymous · Answer

it's not clear but some researchers believe it is either :

1. a protective mechanism so that microorganisms from the sneeze do not enter the eye or 
2. it is due to the body's reflex of contracting many muscles during a sneeze
