      I have also heard that this is true, lets hope not! thankfully I think that we blink as a reflex when we sneeze and it would be really difficult to do. I have seen people who can pop their eyes out – think that there is a World record for it!

      Hi Melissa. I was worried about this too. Apparently even if you prop your eyelids open so they can’t close, your eyes still won’t pop out. Some people can pop their eyes out themselves though. I think it looks pretty gross.

      My advice is don’t try it – if it is true then you will have proved it works for you – but not everybody. oh…and you won’t have eyes where they ought to be…so its a lose-lose situation I feel!! 🙂
