Maybe it’s a thing that only certain people do, like rolling your tongue. Looking at a bright light doesnt make me sneeze, and until just now I thought it was just an old wives tale, like remedies for curing hiccups. Doesn’t work but widely believed.
Come visit Disney with my family this fall. You’ll see me and my kid both sneeze every time we step into the Florida sun after leaving a slightly darkened show build.
Wait what? I don’t recall doing this. Or do you mean squinting instead of actually sneezing?
No, sneezing, as in the photic sneeze reflex. If I look at the sun by accident I’ll sneeze.
Known as the “suntzu”
Bless you
Or as my kids started calling it “Daddy is allergic to the sun”
TIL ! Wow
Only some people get this reflex (me for e.g.). It’s an actual sneeze.

Yeah, it’s definitely a real thing, it’s fairly common even
But if you don’t have it, you don’t have it, so looking at bright lights isn’t going to help you sneeze

Oh I’d love to, if only I could afford it
