with one's eyes open
(with one's eyes open (тж. with open eyes))
сознательно, учитывая все последствия, отдавая себе отчёт

Mary was moral but no innocent prude. She entered this relationship with open eyes, knowing Betty Lou would soon take notice. (W. Du Bois, ‘The Ordeal of Mansart’, ch. XIV) — Мэри не была безнравственной, но не была и притворной жеманницей. Она отдавала себе полный отчет в том, что делает, вступая в эту связь с Джоном, и знала, что его мать Бетти-Лу рано или поздно заметит их отношения.

‘It's a risk,’ I replied. ‘But he's gone it with his eyes open.’ (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Power’, ch. XVI) — - Это, конечно, риск, - возразил я, - но ведь Роджер знает, на что идет.
