Before my laser surgery I wore soft contacts for diving for over twenty years. I always explained to anyone that insisted on me having my eyes open during a mask rem/rep that they would be paying for any lens that I lost.
I regularly practised with my eyes open anyway but always when I knew I had a standby pair of spectacles and/or a spare set of lenses topside and only I lost a lens a couple of times but the warning served to wake up the inexperienced instructor and latterly instructor-trainee.
