Welcome to Pet Talk! My first question is how old is the kitten? If she's really young why is she kept outdoors?? Does she sleep inside the house at night and outdoor during the day? I'm thinking it could be an allergy of some sort. Are her eyes red? If so, maybe you should take her to the vet for some eye medication.

Sounds like you ought to get her to a vet. I'm not sure at that age, but perhaps she's got an infection. Is she still with her mother? If she is going to stay outdoors, she really should be seen by a professionsl. To open her eyes, you could use warm, moist compresses. I hope someone with more "kitten" experience replies, as they have needs that are undoubtedly different from adults. And two weeks is very young.
