However, you can narrow the gap by using more modifiers in the prompt, like make this person open his big, dark blue eyes.

How to Avoid Closed Eyes Problems Next Time
A fall in the pit, a gain in the wit. Here are some of the best tips to avoid closed eyes problems while shooting a photo.
Encourage subjects to blink just right before the photo is taken. Or inform everyone about the timing of the shot. A simple countdown will do the trick.
Strong lights can cause subjects to blink. Use natural light or bounce the flash off to soften it. If that’s not possible, position subjects so that light falls evenly across their faces without causing discomfort.
Capture multiple frames in quick succession. This increases the chance of getting at least one photo. Some cameras even have the eye detection feature. Enable it so that the camera focuses on the eyes.
