Why do people sneeze with their eyes closed?

Answer 1

Blinking is the body's way to clean and moisten the eyeballs so they won't dry out. Blinking is also a reflex reaction to a movement toward the eyes, and serves to cover them and protect them from damage.

Answer 2

People close their eyes while sleeping because their eyes won't dry up and completely loose sight in them, also don't want outside influences while you sleep because that will mess up your whole processing in the brain of what you did that day. It also stops the eyeballs from drying. Although, some people can keep their eyes open while sleeping.

Answer 3

because some people have a stigmitizmem with there eyes witch makes it so they sleep with there eyes open its kinda creepy my sister and i both have this problem lmao

Answer 4

I can't say for sure but my best guess is that when you sneeze the muscles in your face tighten up, there for your eyes close.

Answer 5

If you don't blink your cornea goes all dry and itchy, it can even get damaged.

Answer 6

While they may not be able to see, their eyes can still feel and the body will lubricate the eye ball to protect it from foreign objects and from drying out.

Answer 7

To keep your eyeballs moist.
