Can you open your eyes underwater?

I can, but the amount of crap in some pools... All over my eyeballs... Worrying.

depends, rivers are soothing and fresh and dont hurt the eyes, chlorinated pools hurt and sea water well i dont want to look under there, sharks and rays

depends - what's in the water and am i wearing contacts?

Yes, but my eyes would sting later on.
o.o

I can't, so I use goggles. :)

i swim 6 times a week from trainning so yh :)

The other day, while taking a casual stroll on the ocean, I tried to put my head under water to see if I can open my eyes.
My face hit that ocean like bird poop hits the concrete.
Then I passed out and woke up with shaving cream all over my face.

Usually in pools, natural bodies of water. Did it once in a bubble bath too, once and never again.

I never tried and have no desire to do so.

I cannot in the sea/ocean. That burns.

I wish I could. How does anyone even do that without pain?

I Can it dosen't hurt

I can't open my eyes in Sea-water or clear water in the tub. I can only open my eyes fully and for a long time in water with chlorine.

I can sort of in pool water, but I can't in ocean water :/

I can open my eyes underwater and I don't feel a thing, either while they're open or afterwards. It's weird cause I feel like it should hurt and lots of people tell me that it does for them....

I can, but I prefer goggles. I don't want to get other peoples' pee in my eyes.

I can, but I wear contacts in the water (I really can't see without them) so I don't usually open my eyes.. I don't want to lose them (even though they are daily disposables!)

i can,but dont do it in chlorinated pools for too long or the color white is going to hurt your eyes for several hours

I wear contacts, so yeah, as the Chlorine doesn't sting because the contacts protect my eyes. Skills yay xP

yes and if i keep opening my eyes under water they would burn badly and every thing is much brighter and i cant see very well

seawater and rivers, i cant see a thing but pools are a lot clearer so i can open my eyes but not for long periods of time.

As long as I am not at some ghetto pool where they have to triple the clorine in the water to compensate for the filth. I have a horrible phobia of fish so oceans and lakes are out the question. It pretty much ruined my Sr. trip to the Nahamas. ah wel...

I can, but they hurt and everything is blurred, can't see for shit (even when I didn't need glasses).
