Apparently its a fact that it is impossible to keep your eyes open when you sneeze. Has anyone ever been able to do it? I find it most irritating when im driving, what if something happened in that split second?

ive never tried it, and i would want to try it! i remember reading somewhere that you sneeze at like 300 miles per hour! now im not saying this would really happen..but what if you DID keep your eyes open and the sneeze pushed your eyeballs out of the socket!!! sounds stupid..but you never know since we cant force ourselves to keep them open.

I've never been successful in keeping my eyes open when I sneeze either, and I think it's one of those human impossibilities to do so..why I have no idea--LOL

No one can and, there is a reason for that but I don't remember so, if any one knows the reason, it'll be good to remind us.

I don't think it is possible to keep your eyes open while sneezing.I have not tried it but i don't think anyone could do it.

No one can ever do that at the same time. It is really automatic for our eyes to close at the time we are sneezing.
