    No, because it is an involuntary action, the body counters with the involuntary action of blinking at the same time to protect them from any matter discharged from the sneeze.

    I watched Any Given Sunday (an american football film) at the weekend and a guy's eye got squeezed out in a scrum thing there so I expect it is quite possible for your eye to pop out with the force of a sneeze!

    Scientifically it is not possible. Test have been done and the answer is No it is not possible, because, like a lot of people joke about, it is true that your eyes might get affected. though i have never seen some ones eyes pop out I would rather not try it.

    Depending on how strong the sneeze is I find that I have sneezed when my eyes were open.

    To keep your eyes open when you squeeze?... What your eyes? Not sure on that one. Anything else. A possibility!

    rYes, I can. Only a little slit stays open though. Not proper;y wide open. And no, your eyes don't pop out. Mine are still nice and secure.

    it is impossible , you have to close your eyes when you sneeze .

  • 1 decade ago

    Not naturally, but if you were to superglue somebody's eyes open, or cut their eyelids off with scissors, they wouldn't be able to close them...

    I dont think it is. your eyes would pop out of their sockets i think.
