Some things I tried that you might have better luck with if you're having trouble seeing.. tried forcing it open with my hands, which sort of worked, but it wouldn't stay open and was really blurry. This is just a thought so I could be wrong, but it seems like that might help with trying to open your dream eyes instead of your physical eyes, since the rest of you is in the dream and you're not actually moving your eyelid to do it?
I also tried pretending that I'd put an eyepatch on earlier and that I could fix my vision by taking it off. My recall wasn't very good this time so I can't actually remember if that did anything. And if you can get as far as having blurred vision, something I've heard a few times is to try to find a pair of glasses and put them on, knowing they'll make things clearer.
