Opening your eyes underwater...I would describe it is uncomfortable more than painful. Even then, the actual discomfort comes after surfacing when your eyes are exposed to air again. Having them open underwater isn't that bad at all once you are used to it, but as soon as you surface you will feel a stinging sensation as the water starts to evaporate and leave salt on your eyes.

To me, it feels about the same as opening them in a chlorinated pool. The difference is when I get out of a pool, my eyes are very irritated, and it takes hours for them to get back to normal. When I get out of an ocean, my eyes feel better and the redness goes away after about an hour.

I have swam in the ocean. No, the salt doesn't hurt your eyes, but the water isn't as clean as it looks. Get a diving mask or goggles if you want to see anything. The chlorine in a swimming pool doesn't hurt your eyes, its the pH (acid/base) difference from your eyes that burns.

How many laps = 1 mile in an olympic swimming pool?

I have never had trouble opening my eyes in salt water. Chlorine stings my eyes more. The only thing is that because the water isn't clear, you still can't see very far. Your tears are salt water. Eye wash that people use to clean their eyes after getting a chemical contaminate in them is a salt water solution, i.e. saline solution. Give it a try- even if it stings a little at first, your eyes will adjust, they just aren't used to it. It won't cause long term damage and any sting will go away very quickly, if it even stings at all.

Both sting my eyes but I find out that it's not so much the salt water that stings than it is the sand in the water. There is no point in opening your eyes in salt water, you won't be able to see anything. My recomendation is wear goggles or a mask or keep your eyes close.
