Eyes open ... I think.
If it's a well known place, where I'm used to go and if it is about to get something, I trust my feet and hands. They usually know better than me where things are or how to find them. My eyes are irrelevant and do whatever they want. I think in most cases they stay open.
I remember a power shortage by a friend. We had to go down the stairs in the dark. The friend was going down with extreme care, 'probing' with his foot to find each step.
I proceeded as usual: when there is light, I do not look where I need to put my feet. Although I am completely unable to say how many steps, when it is a well known staircase, my feet know the average distance between the steps and when it is the last one. Why should I behave differently when there is light than when there's none.
So, I pretend there is light and I use my instinctive/bodily knowledge of the place.
