ACHOO syndrome is the name i know because its funny when i sneeze for 1 minute after going outside. Its Autosomal dominal Compelling Helio Opthalmic Outburst syndrome. Its a genetic condition that makes you sneeze due to bright lights.

For me my right eye triggers it like 5x more than my left, so closing it is required if i dont have sunglasses. After about 5-10 minutes it wont cause an issue but until then my sneezes are quite aggressive.
