close eyes
Block out sight
To close one's eyes is to shut the eyelids, blocking vision temporarily or for sleep.
Figuratively, to close your eyes to something is to deliberately ignore it: The administration closed its eyes to the corruption.
With eyes closed suggests trust or resignation—you proceed without seeing what's ahead.
