Observe for now.: Hopefully, the symptom you are describing is simply related to muscular strain. When we sneeze, we tend to close our eyes forcibly, causing some extra exertion upon the small muscles that close the eyelids. However, if your eyes start to appear red or begins to tear excessively, then should be evaluated immediately. And if the symptoms persist beyond today, seeking an evaluation.
