      No they wouldn’t. It is also extremely difficult for adults to sneeze with their eyes open!

      No your eyes would not pop out. The eyes and nose aren’t connected in a way that could transfer the power of your sneeze into a force to push your eyes out. Your eyes are actually very secure in your eye sockets!
