Could be okay: 26 weeks after conception or 28 weeks of pregnancy the baby's eyes open. So give it some more time and ask your doc, too. Here is a handy article : http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/pregnancy-week-by-week/in-depth/fetal-development/art-20045997

Examination: I would suggest having all the lights off to check whether she will open her eyes. When I examine premature infants this sometimes helps during the ophthalmologic examination. With growth premature organs grow and I also advise optimizing nutrition.
