IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SNEEZE WITH YOUR EYES OPEN? why? and what will happen?

Answer:
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, I have done it. oops let me put my eye back in

---

yes it is possible, that's an urban legend

---

your eyeballs will fall out thats what I heard anyways and I've tried doing it and I can't keep my eyes open. hahahaha

---

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.

---

wow
never though of that
maybe your eyes will remain wide open from now on

---

Put your nose to some Black Pepper and try it, then tell us what happened.

---

no

---

Well no its not impossible, you can always hold them open!

---

hahaha NOTHING HAPPENS

---

mmmmmmmmmmmm. everything's possible so yes.. just.. sneeze with your eys open!! actually this is a good question, i dont even know the answer.. i should try the next time i sneeze.

---

Defense mechanism against blowing your eyeballs out like yo-yos.

---

you could but you have Strong i think well exactly its hard

---

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.

---

i really dont know the answer to your question, but i would like to share with you now that you mention sneezing that a guy i went to school with named Daniel once mentioned that if you sneeze, cough, yawn, and fart at the same time you die at the spot.

---

yes it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. and if you do... well idont want to know cause it will probably be really bad.

---

You can but your eyes are supposed to pop out, i heard that your eyes shut to keep the eyeballs inside of the sockets, and then there is the story the devil is trying to steal your soul that is why you cover your mouth

---

How about you try it and let everyone else know how it went

---

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...

---

I dunno, but did you know when you do your heart stops for like a second or something?

---

noo just another myth..

---

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.
