There's also the reverse, where the character almost dies, but doesn't, and opens its eyes slowly.

This is listed as one subversion of Face Death with Dignity.

Can also be a form of Face Death with Dignity if it's not a cringing clench of the eyes, but more a calm moment of meditation and acceptance like Spock displays.

Related, there are probably examples of Face Death with Dignity where they do close their eyes and indeed are annihilated during this last moment of peace and calm for them. The ending for the two protagonists in Rogue One is basically this even though IIRC one of them chooses to leave their eyes open.
