Why cant u keep your eyes open when u sneeze?


Question


Why cant u keep your eyes open when u sneeze?


Answer


It is almost impossible for a person to keep their eyelids open during a sneeze, although some rare individuals report having little if any trouble doing so. The reflex of shutting the eyes serves no obvious purpose the nerves serving the eyes and the nose are closely related, and stimuli to the one often trigger some response in the other.
