My question is in meditation does it matter if your eyes are open or closed or is it just preference.

Hi J,

I keep my eyes open, still, and focused on the space beyond the tip of my nose, because that's how I was taught originally. However some people who meditate always keep their eyes closed.

I think it probably varies according to the meditation teacher and the tradition one is practising with.

Personally I prefer eyes open to closed.
