I am not a doctor nor any kind of researcher. Just someone who sneezes when I walk out into the sun. My idea is that when we are exposed to the bright light, we squint our eyes. When this happens it restricts our sinuses. A natural way of clearing our sinuses is a sneeze.

Can you sneeze and not blink?

The fact is you can go search every where and ask any one but blinking your eyes while you sneeze is a natural body reaction. When you see a bright light you sneeze and your eyes close so that they can shut longer than when you blink so you won't hurt your eyes . As much as you try not to blink you cant because when you sneeze your entire body shuts down for that time so your eyes close as well. Another reason why you naturally blink when you sneeze is that if you did not blink while sneezing, your eyes would pop out.

What is a photic sneeze response?

1/4 of the population has photic sneeze reflex. It just so happens that I have it too. It is when you look into a bright light and sneeze.
