"The sneezing response is a complex one, involving stimulation of the nasal tissues, which are mediated by cranial nerves V and VII, and processing by a "sneeze center" in a distinct structure of the brainstem, thought to reside in the lateral medulla. Histaminic and muscarinic receptors there appear to affect the ability to sneeze. This region in turn seems to control the epipharyngeal, intrinsic laryngeal and respiratory muscles. The brain sends coordinated motor impulses along nerves controlling muscles of the abdomen, chest, diaphragm, neck, face, eyelids and various sphincters, as well as the mucus glands and blood vessels of the nose. All this happens automatically."
As you can see, keeping one's eyes open during a sneeze would require unnatural, super-human ability. I only know two people who can: Jake Jensen and Josh Heck. Also: sneezing is for sick people.
Thank you all for the interest. Until next time,
