Thanks for commenting Element,

Zazen taught to do meditation with eyes open not looking in straight line but in an angle of 45° so I got used to do it with eyes open... when anapanasati sometimes I close them for a few minutes but always meditation is done with eyes open.

Personally I do not felt comfortably with eyes closed... watching breath and mind is easier with eyes open.

I remember the roshi telling to close eyes when being in bed ready to sleep.
