Why you cannot sneeze with your eyes open?

Answer 1

It is possible, but not for most people, most of the time. The contractions of the facial muscles that accompany a sneeze include the muscles of the eyelids that control blinking. So while it is impossible for most people to keep their peepers from shutting during the process, some rare folks are capable of it.

• Yes, it is possible and has happened with many people. Although most cannot, there are some who are able to sneeze with their eyes open.

Answer 2

Yes, this is to keep the bacteria and other harmful components of the sputum out. This is a natural habit and no one can sneeze with their eyes open; it is impossible. One may squint though, instead of fully closing their eyes. Most commonly, they do squint rather than fully close the eyes.
